Animal Planet to premiere documentary film ‘The Secret Life of Frogs’ on amphibians of India
Share Share ShareShare

Mumbai: Animal Planet will premiere the first ever documentary film that focuses exclusively on amphibians of India – ‘The Secret Life of Frogs’ on May 1st at 21:00 hrs. Shot painstakingly over three years, the film is directed bythe award-wining third generation of wildlife filmmakers – Vijay and Ajay Bedi.

This film throws up behavioral facts hitherto unknown to science, documenting for the first time the entire life cycle of the highly endangered, rare purple frog that emerges from underground to breed for just one day in a year. Catch ‘The Secret Life of Frogs’ on May 01 at 21:00 hrs on Animal Planet and Animal Planet HD World.

The Secret Life of Frogs will premiere as a part of new anthology ‘Animal Planet Presents’ which showcases award winning films all weekdays – Monday to Friday at 9:00 pm. The anthology includes multiple award-winning films like ‘Tigerland, ‘A Wolf’s Journey’, legacy hit series like ‘Dodo Heroes’‘Epic Yellowstone’and ‘Ivory Wars’.

Zulfia Waris, Vice President, Premium & Digital Networks, Discovery Communications India, said, “The Secret Life of Frogs has been told in an easy lyrical way. The aim is to draw attention to fossorial creatures that seldom receive conservation attention. The film is an ode to amphibians, it is also a plea to save them.”

 “At a time when film makers take pride in charismatic megafauna, we have chosen tiny creatures as the heroes of our film. We realize this is a huge risk, but it is worth it, as no one is telling the story of frogs. The handful of people working for their conservation need to be celebrated as well, they too are heroes in our film,” said, Bedi Brothers – Ajay and Vijay. “I still remember where I live in Delhi, we used to hear the gentle murmur of frogs calling from the neighborhood parks as the monsoon hit North India, those croaks have gone silent. Across the world a dreaded disease called the Chytrid fungus is wiping out frog species in large numbers. In India too, a complex set of reasons from roads cutting through their habitats to climate change to mini hydel dams in the forest is endangering species.  With so much attention focused on tigers and megafauna, the amphibians of India are fighting a lonely battle for survival.  Somehow, we have forgotten how rich our country is in other forms of life.  Our hope through ’The Secret Life of Frogs’ is to ignite inspiration for an army of frog champions.”

The Secret Life of Frogs has won prestigious awards namely Cannes Corporate TV & Media Awards, 2018 and five awards at The Calcutta International Cult Film Festival 2019 – 27th Edition. The film has also made its way to the nominations at International Nature Film Festival Gödöllő – Hungary and 9th Dada SahebPhalke Film Festival 2019.
