Blue Gold: World Water Wars, Purple Turtle Films
Introduced by Deborah Rothberg, Public Programs Coordinator, National Museum of Natural History.
Sky News Asia Correspondent Peter Sharp reports on China's zoos, described by campaigners as “insane asylums for animals”. Peter found examples of bears being trained to twirl blazing sticks and ride bicycles as well as animals kept in tiny cages suffering from what one shocked observer called “zoo-chosis.” Most disturbingly, Peter's team filmed undercover at a wildlife park where defenseless animals are fed live to tigers – dying a slow death in front of delighted visitors. Correspondent Peter Sharp. Camera Andy Portch. Producer Holly Williams. Winner of the News Award.
