UK (1978): Documentary

This is Alan Root's own personal favorite. Halfway through the film, after the termites have painstakingly build a huge mud anthill (these are in Africa, and often are taller than a person), an aardvark comes and eats the whole damn thing. The termites themselves are fascinating creatures, and Root masterfully films them as they go about building the nest, protecting the queen, raising their young, and foraging for food. (Cine 16)
