Ever since Bram Stoker’s Dracula was published, the mythical figure of the blood-sucking undead has been associated with a particular region: Transylvania. Guarded by the mighty Carpathian Mountains, its nature has remained largely untouched. Here you will find animals that are long since extinct or highly endangered elsewhere. They include no fewer than 26 different species of bats. This documentary by multi-award-winning nature film director John Murray is an impressive and at times somewhat eerie portrait of one of Europe’s most pristine landscapes.
