Directed, co-produced, co-edited and written by Kim MacQuarrie. The Living Edens: Manu is a one-hour, Emmy-winning documentary filmed entirely in the remote Manu National Park in southeastern Peru. The film chronicles a year in the lives of a variety of rainforest inhabitants: a rare Harpy Eagle family, a tree sloth, a family of six-foot-long Giant Otters, and other creatures such as a jaguar, brilliantly-plumaged macaws, and anteaters. Manu has some of the richest wildlife anywhere in the Amazon and the film's cinematography reflects this. The film also won a major award at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival

Spirits of the rain forest
Journey into the heart of Peru's remote Amazon rainforest and into one of its remotest parks, Manu National Park and Biosphere Reserve, a massive park half the size of Switzerland. The film explores the work of three biologists studying Giant Otters, Squirrel Monkeys and macaws, and also an anthropologist (Glenn Shepard) who lives with and studies the Machiguenga Indians, who once had contact with the Inca Empire. Shepard has close ties with the tribe's shaman, Mariano, and through him is introduced into the Machiguenga's spirit world
