A film that inspires enthusiasm for biodiversity with impressively shot and entertainingly edited animal stories, promotes the importance of protecting biodiversity with unusual insights and also illustrates interesting scientific contexts with a light touch – and all this not in faraway, exotic places, but right on our doorstep, on just one river and its living environment. Ungezähmt – im Fluss des Lebens [Untamed – In the Flow of Life] masterfully illustrates a remarkable example of how diverse nature can be above and below the surface of the water if it is not displaced or destroyed by humans. Anyone who has experienced this film, which is as modest as it is magnificent, will be able to see our rivers with different eyes.
