Dear Richard Brock passed away one year ago today. To mark this first anniversary of his death, we have released his final film, ¨Super Stream or Not?¨, aerials by Ross Birnie, edited and finished by Gareth Trezise. 💙 Note the edit nod to Richard´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. 🙏 RIP Richard. ❤️
