BoggyWoggy just read the terrible news that Joan Root the celebrated British wild life conservationist and film maker was killed in Naivasha, Kenya.
I have been searching for photos of Joan Root without finding any online. Even the BBC that should have reported the news with her picture did not do so. And I am disappointed that the almighty BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION couldn't report this very important news with a picture of Joan Root one of the most accomplished British Film Makers who was always on location with her husband Alan.
"BALLOON SAFARI".
From Yahoo News:
Joan Root, who along with ex-husband Alan Root made a number of films about Kenya and Africa, was shot three times with an AK-47 rifle in her bedroom at her home in Naivasha, about 90 km (56 miles) northwest of the capital Nairobi.
Root and her ex-husband made a number of films celebrating African wildlife, notably the 1976 film "Balloon Safari".
