  David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet 2020

  ★★★★★ Watched 07 Oct 2020

  David Attenborough's witness statement of a changing planet. Beautiful, tragic, honest, despairing, and hopeful all at once, the film recounts the damage humankind has wrought on planet Earth caused by our ignorance of the effects of unsustainable progress accelerated by rapid industrial and technological achievement of the twentieth century. While undoubtedly painting a necessary grim depiction of a future if we failed to change course, Attenborough ensures to instill hope, outlining practical and necessary steps that we must collectively take if we wish to restore nature's balance and live in harmony with the plethora of diverse species on our planet.
