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.

Amazingly filmed and narrated. Just watch it and be amazed.

This is so spectacular you'll be getting flabbergasted at every turn and twist of this masterpiece. Really, who knew a fraction of these phenomena actually take place? I am just wondering how we human beings can possibly destroy it all when the chances of it all happing were so microscopic to begin with Sir Richard Attenborough is synonymous with these fine works of art. Feast upon this! You too can thrive!

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), ...
