Brock Initiative Bringing Reality Opportunity Conservation Knowhow with films that will make a difference! Wrong.

Richard Brock worked in the BBC Natural History Unit for 35 years producing, among others, the highly successful Life on Earth and Living Planet series. Concerned by the lack of willingness to address the real current state of the environment he left the BBC and started his own independent production company Living Planet Productions. "These days it's simply not good enough to use the old response... "If people know about it they'll care for it and do something". They'll just go on being conned that it's all perfect out there, with endless jungles, immaculate Masai Maras, and untouched oceans. What planet are they on about?" Richard Brock

Living Planet Productions has made over 100 films on a wide range of environmental topics, shown all over the world. As his archive of films and footage mounted up, Richard felt that there was something more, better, that could be done with this resource. "When you consider the miles of footage and thousands of programs sitting in vaults out there unused, it seems tragic that the very wonders they celebrate are dwindling, often because no one tells the locals and tries to help. That is why I believe its Payback Time for the wildlife television."

Dear Richard Brock passed away one year ago today. To mark this first anniversary of his death, we have released his final film, Β¨Super Stream or Not?Β¨, aerials by Ross Birnie, edited and finished by Gareth Trezise. πŸ’™ Note the edit nod to RichardΒ΄s narration at the end. ✨

The film explores the ecological significance and current vulnerability of the River Kennet, a rare and vital chalk stream running through the English countryside. The narrative follows a diverse cast of wildlife, including water voles, otters, and various waterfowl, as they navigate the seasonal changes from winter floods to summer blossoms. Beyond its natural beauty, Richard highlights the severe man-made pressures facing the waterway, such as sewage discharge, chemical runoff from farming, and plastic pollution. He underscores the tension between human development and environmental preservation, questioning whether this "super stream" can survive increasing contamination. Ultimately, the film serves as a plea for the protection of this unique ecosystem and its fragile food chains against the backdrop of climate change and industrial neglect. 🩡

Richard was ever keen that as part of his legacy his Wildlife Winners & Losers Film Series films be used and shared for the good of nature, so please watch, comment and share this film, and all of his others. Thank you, Jason. πŸ™ RIP Richard. ❀️
