KUALA LUMPUR: In conjunction with the 40th Earth Day, the National Geographic Channel (NGC) will feature a series of documentaries on oceans and marine life.
The screening of the programmes will have the support from Malaysia's upcoming band Bunkface, Miss Malaysia World 2007 Deborah Henry and actor Nicholas Saputra.
According to NGC, the band was selected because of its lyrics that strive to make a change in the world.
Henry and Saputra were chosen because of their commitment and passion towards conservation.
"The artistes are advocates in their fields. This is very much the essence of what NGC is really about -- inspiring people to search for answers and find out more about the world we live in."
While Henry and Saputra will be featured in a series of vignettes, Bunkface will lend its talent through themed music and vocals.
