Since 2009, Roger has been collaborating with Craig and Damon Foster in a series of documentary films that explore mans relationship with nature.
The first documentary, which has been screened internationally by Animal Plant in 2010, tells the story of Didier Noirot’s quest to dive and film Nile crocodiles underwater in the Okavango Delta.Titled “Into the Dragon’s Lair”, it follows his attempts to approach these animals underwater based on his conviction that they will not respond aggressively to divers, while at the same time exploring broader themes of fear and mankind’s increasing disconnection with “nature”.
In 2010 we began work on a follow up documentary titled ‘Touching the Dragon”, which tries to unpack the extraordinary relationship between a man and an American crocodile forged over twenty two years. Still in production, this documentary will be released in 2012.
