http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/frogs-the-thin-green-line/introduction/4763/ Allison Argo, the filmmaker behind “Frogs: The Thin Green Line,” discusses the making of the film in this Web-exlusive video. From the construction of an artificial pond set, to seeing the effects of the chytrid fungus first-hand, Allison describes the challenges she encountered in this project. With one-third of amphibian species threatened with extinction, Allison thinks the story of frogs “is probably the most important environmental story of our time.”

“Frogs: The Thin Green Line” premieres on PBS Sunday, April 5 at 8 pm (check local listings). “Frogs: The Thin Green Line” is part of the 27th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York for PBS. Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc., SC Johnson, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

    This is a real shame. After seing this documentary yesterday I had to check my frogs. In a creek down the street from me I’d seen at least 20 bullfrog eggs in a clutch and left. I came back to it the next day and they were gone. Maybe next time I’ll see if someone can take the eggs and help them.

    This is a remarkable look at the dedication, and the talent, that goes into the making of a film such as this. And the result is a stark reminder. What is it going to take to stop us from destroying all life on this planet?…..
