Mara Triangle
15 Apr 2009
If you've seen Gorillas in the Mist, The Colour Purple or Out of Africa, then you're already familiar with the work of Simon. Back in 1998, Simon and his daughter Tanya and her husband Ian formed the African Environmental Film Foundation which produce and distribute - for free - educational films about conservation issues to Africans.
We mentioned back in August that Simon was in the Mara Triangle filming a four part film on the Mara Conservancy, and we also posted about the public viewing of his film Natural Security at Dupoto Forest where the community were insistent after watching it once that they watch the whole film again.
