1/18 - A Tragedy: A great wildlife filmmaker is murdered

Don't know if you've ever seen "Mysterious Castles of Clay," but it is truly one of the top five all-time greatest nature documentaries. Joan Root, who along with her former husband Alan Root, made it, was murdered in Kenya last week at age 69. There are so few original nature filmmakers in the world. Its a sad loss.
