Author: Banks, J. Title: In the Shadow of Kangchenjunga
Description: CineButterflies 2009 , . . DVD. NEW. . Filmed entirely in the wild, the new film focuses on the butterflies of Sikkim, which nestles below Mount Kanchenjunga, in the northeast of India. The film has been made at the request of the Sikkim Nature Foundation to help promote awareness of Sikkim's butterfly heritage. The DVD will contain 2 versions of the film; one for adults and the other for use with schoolchildren. Dramatic footage of dawn breaking on the high snows, and of the fast-flowing glacial rivers, will set the scene. Because biogeographically Sikkim lies at the northern edge of the Oriental Region, its butterflies span the tropical and temperate regions. So be prepared for an unusual mix of species from its hot valleys and cool forests, enriched with a commentary to bring out the significance of the marvellous images that the experienced Cinebutterflies team always bring to your screens.
