He once waited 28 hours beneath a tree in order to capture a lynx when it came down, and he built 36 kinds of covert before he discovered an adequate way to hide and shelter himself and his camera. The film took three years to complete, cost more ($120,000) than Sucksdorff had in pocket. His chief backer: Dag Hammarskjold. Secretary-General...
