Film Review by September Williams /Bioethics Screen Reflections

WILD LIFE is a documentary by Oscar® winning filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin. It shows the rigors, pitfalls, and love required to protect and preserve what is the best of nature. A National Geographic Documentary, WILD LIFE opened in the USA  in April of 2023.

WILD LIFE is also a Bioethics Film for many reasons. Among those is the setting, i.e. the geography. Both Chile and neighboring Argentina lay claim to the region of Patagonia. Patagonia holds some of the world’s regions untouched by humans.
