The article discusses the implications of films concerning natural history for both professional and popular science, with the author highlighting the connection between scientific knowledge and sociology. The author is more broadly concerned with the production of knowledge, claiming that legitimate scientific fact should not be relegated to professional discoveries because popular science has its own social impact. Natural history film-making is then analyzed in relation to social stratification and the ability to experience nature first-hand. The social identities fashioned by film-maker Cherry Kearton and naturalist David Attenborough are examined.
