Here is the next deep dive episode of season one. Today we are looking at the film Chang: A Drama of the Wilderness, produced and directed by Meriam C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack. Shot completely on location in the jungles of Siam, the film follows a local man and his family trying to eek out a living in the foreboding jungle.
The characters will deal with leopard and tiger attacks, an elephant stampede and plenty of other dangers around every corner. While dated in the way it treats the animals on screen, the film is important as a look at what that part of the world looked like nearly 100 years ago.
