Video Interview: Nigel Marven

Veteran travel and wildlife TV presenter, conservationist and author Nigel Marven has featured in Discovery’s Shark Week and BBC’s Chased by Dinosaurs. Recently, he signed a deal with MagellanTV to produce and star in original content for the global documentary streaming service. Together, MagellanTV and Marven will launch the original feature documentary Wild El Salvador—In the Shadow of the Volcano with Nigel Marven, in which the eponymous presenter explores volcanic Central America, encountering creatures that live in the shadows of legendary infernos. The film will be available exclusively on MagellanTV.

Marven, who is joined by a special reptilian guest, talks to TV Real Weekly about the partnership with MagellanTV, the power of television to entertain and educate, and how streaming has transformed the doc-programming landscape.
