Our Planet

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!

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.

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 एक असुविधाजनक सच (2006), Microcosmos : le peuple de l'herbe (1996), Océans (2008), ...

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

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.
