Step into the wild with Emmy Award winning filmmaker Bob Poole , one of the most respected wildlife cinematographers in the world today. In The Footsteps of Giants , Bob brings the animal kingdom to life with captivating visuals, powerful personal stories, and a deep call to conservation. Raised in Kenya and mentored in the African wilderness from a young age, Bob has spent his life documenting the wonders and struggles of the natural world. With over 40 films produced for National Geographic , PBS NATURE , BBC , and Discovery Networks , he has become a global voice for wildlife preservation. Bob s work with his sister, renowned elephant researcher Joyce Poole , has offered viewers rare access into the hidden world of elephants, revealing how generations of shared wisdom and subtle communication have helped them survive poaching, predators, climate change, and conflict . Bob s most recent project, Secrets of the Elephants , is a visually stunning, James Cameron produced documentary series now streaming on Disney+. From the harsh deserts of Namibia to the rebirth of Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, Bob s lens captures not only the raw beauty of nature but also its resilience. This evening at the Blackhawk Museum will offer a rare behind-the-scenes look into Bob s world where stories of survival and renewal inspire us to protect what remains wild.
