antananarivo, tana for short, madagascar's crowded chaotic capital city. >> how are you doing, man? base camp. >> wow, that's quite a rain. i don't know. i'm not sure if i can be in front of the camera. >> just ignore them. >> i'm so used to controlling everything. >> darren aronofsky, director of the films "pi," "the wrestler," "black swan," and as it would turn out, sort of appropriate to our location, "noah." he asked me if he could go along on a trip with us. i said, where do you want to go? >> madagascar, i knew almost nothing about it. i knew it was an animated film i've seen a lot of times in my car.

>> it is one of the more extreme places that you hear about but you know you'll never go to unless something really weird summons you. and you're sort of that weird force. >> we're on an island in the indian ocean with this amazing ethnic mix, an incredible landscape. something like 80% of the animals here don't exist anywhere else. >> what does it mean when an ecosystem goes out of balance? what is the blowback? >> here, you can see the blowback. the people have been chopping down the forests. all of a sudden you don't have soil anymore, and you can't grow anything anymore. it's just a real situation. there we go. >> an important question. you are a vegetarian. >> yes. and it just sort of happened with the release of "noah." in scripture he was a vegetarian as was adam and eve. humans weren't given permission to eat animals until after the

flood. >> so we'll see who is doing better after the end of this ten days. little social experiment here. >> madagascar was settled best we can tell around 700 a.d. by people from what is know indonesia, later by africans. in 1895 the french took it, killed off a substantial number of people in the process, and as they do, left behind beautiful buildings and the french language. when independence came in 1960, it was sudden and ill-prepared for. continuing political incompetence has left most of madagascar's 22 million people living on less than $2 a day.
