The End of Eden
Last in series. New Zealand was discovered 850 years ago, and 160 years later the giant eagle and moas had been exterminated - is man now the monster?
In the last episode of this innovative landmark series combining human drama, natural history and computer graphics, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Natural History Unit recreates the lost world of New Zealand. When the Maori first discovered New Zealand 850 years ago, they ventured into the unknown. A weird landscape inhabited by an extraordinary and exotic group of animals and plants. A land patrolled by the largest bird ever to walk the earth and the deadliest aerial predator since the time of the dinosaurs. For the Maori, it was like a Hitchcock horror - a land ruled by birds. This film tells the story of the Maoris' courageous endeavours to survive in an alien land. It is a story that gives insight into human nature. A film that delivers a stark warning to us all.
