The World About Us (1967 - 1987): The Wildlife of New York
(1973)
New York - the ultimate in man-made environments and the last place to make a wildlife film... or is it? There are, in fact, parakeets nesting in air-conditioners and Western jack-rabbits living alongside the jets at Kennedy Airport; so it's not just the usual opportunists like squirrels and pigeons who have found their niches. In New York it's short-sighted to see only the people, concrete and glass in front of your eyes. This film reveals a new kind of jungle in which an astounding variety of plants and creatures have found the necessary resiliance, adaptability and tolerance to survive and prosper.
