Hi, as I mentioned, unfortunately it cannot be watched outside UK.

The documentary is about the life and death of the wildlife documentary maker Joan Root.Her birth into the family of a rich British-Kenyan plantation owners,her marriage to Allan Root and their celebrity status in the world of wildlife documentaries etc.When the husband leaves her for another woman,she tries to pick the life together in the form of taking up the cause of returning the Lake Naivasha,on whose banks she lives/d, to its original glory. Add to it the world No 1 floral business there and the massive shanty town that springs up around the lake and the conflict it generates.Heart rending-globalisation,poverty and conservation,personal circumstances, people around her and their politics and add to it a very screwed up spinster neighbour.I have never seen a documentary of this wide ranging issues thrown in. Quite intelligently made.
