The first three parts of this documentary are available on youtube, and it is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. The soundtrack is superb, the cultural sensitivity of the history of the land, particularly in relation to Indigenous Peoples is done well (especially for it's time!) and you learn a lot about the ecology of Chile. The storylines of each animal is interwoven so well the transitions are hardly felt (unless for an obvious commercial break).
A must see!
