Back in 2002, for our TV documentary series on CBC, The Sacred Balance, we teamed up with environmentalist David Suzuki to travel to 5 continents and learn about our human need for harmony in nature on planet earth. Now, we have excerpts!
The short clips showcase the journey along the way, and are available on our YouTube channel. Take a short trip around the world, as you watch these fascinating clips.
