A film series about animals by Eugen Schuhmacher
Commentary by Peter Scott

Man of the Forest is the translation of the Malayan words 'Orang Utan.' There were plenty of these animals until well into this century, but their numbers have been drastically reduced: first by the Dyak hunters, and then by the demands of forestry development, and of research laboratories and zoos.

The first of a series of four programmes on the development of the religious life in man.
Men have always reacted to life's crises in a recognisably religious way-at times of birth, marriage, and death. Is there such a thing as the religious instinct?
Tonight's programme examines evidence ranging from the cave paintings of 30,000 years ago to rites of guilt and liberation in Bali today.
After the film, the anthropologist Dr. Audrey Butt will be talking to Magnus Magnusson about the issues raised.
