John Hardy Music is being commissioned to write music for a new series of documentaries on the Ganges, Yangtze, Amazon, Mississippi, Rhine and Nile rivers. These documentaries will be presented in Welsh on S4C and internationally in several languages.
'RIVERS documents how the Amazon, Nile, Rhine, Mississippi, Ganges and Yangtze have shaped the lives and cultures of the people who live along their banks.
Filming locations will include China’s monumental Three Gorges Dam project.
The series will be shown in the UK by S4C, who are the major funding partners, together with France 5 and facilities house Barcud Derwen who’ll provide high-definition cameras and editing.
The series producer and director is Amanda Rees, who commented:
“RIVERS will reveal so much about our dependence on the landscape we make and live in. All over the world, rivers are at the heart of rapid change – environmentally, socially, culturally. And, of course, these world-famous waterways will be a visual treat.”'
