The Marvels of Madagascar

Per its title, the documentary Marvels of Madagascar broadly compasses the fauna and populace of Madagascar, an island nation in the Indian Ocean just off the southeast African coast. Australian film producer and naturalist Greg Grainger roughly spends equal time on the animal and human elements; spectacles covered from the former category include many views of the island's 32 varieties of lemurs and glimpses of the Parson's chameleon, while elements of the documentary that focus on the Malagasy people include such highlights as a discussion of the OFady' religion and trips to Malagasy wrestling events and music festivals.
