Alan Root, wildlife film-maker

18/09/2017

Alan Root, who has died aged 80, made, with his first wife Joan, some of the most highly acclaimed wildlife documentary films to emerge from the continent of Africa; one profile writer felt that his talent rivalled or exceeded that of Jacques Cousteau or David Attenborough.

The Roots pioneered the wildlife film that weaves a story around its subject, which varied from an animal and its habits, a tree and its inhabitants to the common termite. They produced 10 titles, mostly for Anglia Television’s Survival series, which involved many hair-raising encounters in the African bush.
