NETFLIX/MOVING PICTURE HIRE LTD. There’s likely no one on Earth who has had a life quite like David Attenborough.

Attenborough is now 94, and throughout his long life, has watched the natural world wither before his eyes.

But by framing environmental destruction through Attenborough’s eyes and unique career, A Life on Our Planet manages to humanize an issue that can often seem distant, and somewhat abstract. »
