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.”

Great job Allison and crew–can’t wait to watch it Sunday night!
Way to go Allison. Looking forward to Sunday night’s show!
Allison- all of us at Wheeler are proud of the work you do. This looks like another amazing project!
Fantastic work, can’t wait to see it air!
What a remarkable film this must be. Just the few shots of the frogs in slo-mo were so impressive. I also believe that this film will be a terrific argument to people on the radio that discount carbon, the environment, and conservation. Thanks for the teaser. I’ll watch.
The frog program is only a snapshot in time. How many generations of frogs were there before this that we don’t know about? It is like one photo in the history of the world.
Why no words? All I got was the sound of the frogs jumping.
Thank you for producing this important program. It was beautiful and informative, and I hope it brings the attention it deserves.
The behind-the-scene details of the program as well as hearing the commitment of the film makers makes the situation that much more real and urgent.
Thank you Allison Argo and crew for another ENVIRONMENTAL WAKE UP, that OUR PLANET is flashing
DANGER , REVERSE YOUR DIRECTION or ————–
Wow, Allison you did a tremendous job!! The photography was beautifully done! Before this show I had no idea what was really going on with the frog population. I saw the show earlier tonight and I am going to watch it again with my son.

Great program, I was sad to see that the beautiful golden frog population in my country(Panama) are suffering from this devastating fungus. I remember as a child going to “El Valle” walking along the waterfalls and looking for golden frogs. I just hope that one day soon science can find a way to stop this fungus, so that future generations can also enjoy the beauty of frogs.
Cool video, lol i thought some of those shots were real, they should make another video.
i cried thank you
What can we do in our own back yard for the average person?
Should be create a small habitat for them?
