with Anthony Smith
A personal journey across four continents to see some of the world's great National Parks.

On the edge of Nairobi there is a remarkable 44 square miles - the Nairobi National Park. It contains lions and rhinos, giraffes and leopards - a piece of primeval Africa just four miles from the city centre.
The pressures on it are great, particularly from tourism, Kenya's biggest money-earner. With 150,000 visitors a year and Nairobi pushing up against the Park's boundaries, how can the animals behave naturally and remain undisturbed?

The second of three films by the German director Georg W. Pabst
Starring Louise Brooks, Fritz Kortner, Franz Lederer, Carl Gotz

Louise Brooks's cool, innocent expression and open beckoning smile make her an ideal choice for Lulu, the prostitute who inspired evil unawares. Frank Wedekind's play shocked audiences in the 1890s, and in the 20s Pabst's film caused a furore. The music for tonight's presentation has been selected by Carey Blyton
