[sjjh]

Looking at the supported sites http://www.cultureunplugged.com/ is not supported yet. I would love if an extractor could be added for it.

Adding this to my list to create next. Simple enough. Raw MP4 links accessible.

It tells the story of how the conventional American concept of progress has steered our exploitation of the Western landscape, and takes you to three places \u2013 Colorado\u2019s San Luis Valley, the high plains of eastern Montana and the Elwha River on Washington\u2019s Olympic Peninsula \u2013 where a vibrant new understanding of progress presages a better future. The Next, Best West shows how our interpretation of progress has shaped the singular landscape of the American West, and how a new understanding of progress may be our best hope for a bright and healthy future. The West is a place of pure beauty that has provided us so much, yet we have cared for it too little. But that is beginning to change.",
