| “Riveting stuff, often great in its expansive way as it
documents the ticking of the clock in northern South Africa as ecologists
battle to save a whole range of endangered wild life … legendary
producer … Knight certainly knows how to tell a story in striking
visual terms.” |

| “I think you've a fantastic film here. Glorious
overall and often stunning. Simply as a viewer, I enjoyed the hell
out of the hour. Huzzah! Amazing scenes and footage. The principle
figure, van Dyk, has real star qualities, as promised. The storytelling
and structure is -- no surprise here -- superb and engrossing for
the viewer.” |

man! If I'd known you were so damned good, I'd have tried much harder
to take you off track! Truth is, you've crafted a great story and
2 hours of eminently watchable TV.” |

| “You MUST make the time to watch this story. Tim Knight is
ground-zero for story-telling with pictures and sound. He has taught
hundreds of reporters and producers. He practices this craft with
a passion and commitment that the rest of us can only aspire to.
Tim is the gold Standard, get it? Watch and discover why.” |

“Well documented documentary giving the audience
an inside look at wildlife and the workings of behavioral science
in the conservation of animals. Inside Noah's Ark looks at modern
man's attempt to reverse the negative effects we've had on wildlife
in the past. For a wildlife doc it does more, shows more and goes
further in bringing to the screen issues of concern for wildlife
and its' conservation. I haven't seen anything like Inside Noah's
Ark. It gets both my thumbs up!” |

“I was totally engaged.
Gus is a great character. Good casting. You have done a great job
in tying the individual animal stories together through Gus and
his colleagues on their journeys to preserve the animals. Great
job. I look forward to part two. Thanks again for alerting me.” |

my dear father!” |
