Viewing Recommendation: Human Planet

For those of you writing about a pre-industrial or non-urban fantasy setting, I highly recommend watching BBC's Human Planet (you can get it online). It features stories of humans surviving and interacting with their environment, and is a great way to gain perspective if you live in an industrialised area. Furthermore, you can see up-close how people live in a variety of environments-- being nomadic seafarers is very different from being a traveler in the desert.
Even if you have a good sense of living, it's an amazing look at the human condition, the diversity and the universal experiences.
