Unser Planet

Like all David Attenborough's documentaries, this is absolutely beautiful and breath-taking. No one can show us how beautiful our planet is like David Attenborough... he is, quite literally, one of the most important people on Earth, and undoubtedly, the most important person TO Earth.

David Attenborough nature films.. I'm there.. You can never go wrong if you're like me and impressed with Mother Nature.

As we are reminded by an African proverb quoted in Terre des hommes (Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 1939), 'we do not inherit the land from our parents, we borrow it from our children'. However, ecology and respect for nature always rhyme with procrastination. Indeed, since Neil Armstrong stepped on the lunar floor, the human population has more than doubled, but 60% of wildlife populations have disappeared.

The series Our planet celebrates the naturals wonders that remain and invites us to be both contemplative and respectful. Thus, we cross every continent, we feel each season and we touch each of the 3 main elements (sea, air, earth). It's dazzlingly filmed. The voice of David Attenborough is warm and pleasant. The text is excellently written. What a delight!

Although it can be sufficient in itself, this superb documentary may be supplemented by Eine unbequeme Wahrheit (2006), Mikrokosmos - Das Volk der Gräser (1996), Unsere Ozeane (2008), ...

How was this filmed?? I wish they make a documentary on how this documentary was filmed and edited, and what gear and technology they used.

From the majestic narration to the incredible shots of nature and landscapes to the huge amount of information about Our Planet that is given to us, this documentary series never failed to impress me and is the best Netflix documentary series I've ever seen.
