# Shared Spaces documentary subverts human-nature divide, say filmmakers 2026-08-08T09:50:22+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Shared Spaces, a six-part documentary series hosted by environmental journalist Bahar Dutt and filmed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Vijay Bedi, rejects the idea that humans are separate from nature. The series, co-produced by The Habitats Trust and Bedi Universal, premiered on Animal Planet India on July 29 under the anthology India: Epic Wild Stories. It explores human-wildlife coexistence across India’s forests, mountains, coastlines and grasslands. The filmmakers chose stories that avoid blaming local communities, for example, in 'Save Our Sharks', they focus on industrial trawlers rather than small fishermen. The series also covers dog-wildlife conflict in Maharashtra, elephant management in West Bengal, and wolf-dog breeding. Warner Bros. Discovery’s Sai Abishek calls the series timely, as habitat fragmentation and climate change reshape human-wildlife relationships. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Animal Planet India, Bahar Dutt, conservation, human-wildlife coexistence, Vijay Bedi, wildlife documentary Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/shared-spaces-documentary-subverts-human-nature-divide-say-filmmakers/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
