Die vier Alpen
(The Four Alps)
by Jeremy Hogarth
51’, Digital Betacam, Germania, 2007
There are four mountainous regions called the Alps on planet Earth. In addition to the celebrated European Alps, three other mountain ranges carry this name: in Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. This documentary compares these four distinct ecosystems and tells the story of how their mountains were formed and how they evolved, over millions and millions of years, and of how climate changes might transform them in the future. Each of the four Alp ranges is unique and rich with animal and plant species whose future depends on the conservation of a wealth of natural resources of inestimable value.
