Wild Borneo: A Spectacular Journey into the Oldest Rainforest

Editor's Take
Borneo's rainforest has occupied the tropics for well over a hundred million years, and that immense span is the film's real subject. It follows the island's wildlife as the product of deep time and relentless rain, from familiar icons to lesser-known species. The approach is observational, letting the ecosystem's age register through the creatures it has shaped. It rewards viewers interested in how longevity breeds biological richness.
Wild Borneo journeys into the oldest tropical rainforest on Earth, a landscape that has sat in the tropics for some 120 million years. The film follows the extraordinary wildlife of the island, shaped by an immense span of time and constant rain. Shot in 4K, it reveals both famous and little-known species thriving in this ancient forest. It is a spectacular exploration of one of the planet's great biodiversity hotspots.
