Alaska National Parks in New Documentary
-
Alaska can look forward to some excellent exposure on the silver screen thanks to film maker Ken Burns. In his new 6 part documentary, “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea” many of Alaska’s greatest natural treasures are given the spotlight. This is hoped to benefit Alaska in terms of exposure for their wildlife conservation as well as boost the tourism industry.
A major sponsor of the documentary was the Alaska Cruise Association, and its president, John Binkley stated that it would “… get Alaska’s name out there.” The documentary covers how the system of the National Parks was started in America. It is a story of people from the rich to the poor, idealists, the famous, and more who wanted to preserve portions of the land for future generations.
The Denali National Park near Anchorage was used as one of the main parks for the story telling. It highlights the wilderness of the park with its one road access. It brings you closer to the Mount McKinley and shows you the astounding wildlife that habitat this park including Moose, Caribou, Black and Brown Grizzly Bears, as well as plenty of birds and smaller animals.
The documentary makes use of some famous voices including Tom Hanks, Andy Garcia, Eli Wallach, Sam Waterston, Carolyn McCormick, and Amy Madigan among others. With a documentary of such high caliber making its debut on the 27th September, it is hopes that many more visitors will make their way to the National Parks of Alaska.
