Hokkaido - Garden of the Gods. The unique wildlife of Japan's forbidding northernmost frontier, Hokkaido, features Japanese cranes, brown bears and Stellers eagles. These species are seen here through the eyes of the last of an ancient race of huntergatherers, the Ainu, who honour their existence through ritualised dance and prayer. Narrated by John Hurt.
