CRUEL Camera

Twenty-five years ago, Bob Mckeown and a fifth estate crew stunned the
country with an investigative report that showed that many of the wildlife
documentaries we'd grown up watching on television (remember the famous
footage of the lemmings going off the cliff or some of the memorable moments
from shows like Wild Kingdom?) were staged for the television cameras. As
well, they revealed that animals often died during the making of movies; all
for the sake of the entertainment value.

Now, Bob McKeown and an investigative team have returned to the subject to
find out what has changed since the fifth estate's first Cruel Camera
documentary. What they found may astonish you.
