Drakensberg - Africas Dragon Mountains - The Secrets of Nature
Mountain | reviews | videos | photos
A dragon hatched from the volcanic furnaces of Gondwanaland. Ancient almost beyond comprehension, yet a living thing. And vast, stretching across a subcontinent, its spine arching above the clouds... No lucky dragon, this. Starvation festers beneath the shimmering green of its skin. But to the creatures that live along its flanks, it can be a bountiful provider as well as a remorseless destroyer. Today we call it the Drakensberg, or «Dragon Mountain». «Drakensberg» is a dynamic documentary journey through the life of this ever-astonishing mountain. It is also a story of animal survival in a landscape of overwhelming, pitiless power.

The constant unrelenting background music!!! When will program makers realize that music is most times not needed. It should be used sparingly, and be unobtrusive. We should not be subjected to this constant barrage of music. It runs alongside the video as a parallel show. the only times it was bearable was when it was African chorus singing.

Speaking as someone who has the privilege of living in the Drakensberg, it is an incredibly beautiful part of the world. Great to have Iain Glen narrate this.

The male choral group that adds the musical background to this documentary I am about 95% certain is "Ladysmith" from South Africa. They were the group with whom Paul Simon recorded his most excellent "Graceland" collection years ago.
