In this episode, Crystal speaks with Frederic Fougea as he gives us a glimpse behind the scenes of his newest documentary, Mediterranean Life Under Siege. The film and series take viewers on the journeys of some of the Mediterranean’s most precious species as they navigate survival around an increasingly human-dominated landscape. Some of the stories Frederic talks about are the unpredictability of working with animals, how he got some of those seemingly impossible shots, and which storyline stood out to him the most.

You’ll also be hearing from Anni Mitropoulou, the Executive Director of the Cyclades Preservation Fund (CPF). She goes even deeper behind the scenes by offering some insight into the conservation work taking place for some of the species featured in the movie as well as the impact that the movie is having on people.
