New Zealand is undeniably beautiful, but it is not the Middle-earth Professor Tolkien knew . The country that inspired J.R. R. Tolkien to create his mythic world populated by hobbits, men, elves, Orcs and Ents is more familiar then the dramatic landscapes of Peter Jackson's vision of Middle-earth : That country is England, Tolkien's own homeland. This fascinating documentary takes us in Tolkien's footsteps and investigates the landscapes and buildings, the places and names that helped shape Middle Earth. Sir Ian Holm narrates this fascinating exploration into an imaginary world.
