The PLANET EARTH documentary series didn’t seem like it needed a baby brother, but we’re happy they birthed one! Today marks the release of the eight-part series HUMAN PLANET, the BBC/Discovery nature documentary that divulges into the noteworthy ways that we humans have adapted to our living environments.
The production covers 40 countries, focusing on the interesting and outstanding human-inhabited environments. Countries span from Borneo to the Swiss Alps to Nepal, covering “everyday” human activities like outsmarting lions, elephant tracking, shark hunting, camel herding, etc.
But it’s not all unknown remote areas, as HUMAN PLANET gives a shout out to Canada! Churchill, Manitoba and North-Eastern Canada are both featured in Episode 3: Arctic – Life in the Deep Freeze (sounds about right).
There’s really only so much you can say, write, or read about a film like HUMAN PLANET. The visuals are stunning (not cheated with dizzying 3D technology), and the information and unique tales are unfathomable. Unlike scripted movies, docs like HUMAN PLANET provide you with a head-exploding story with no way to determine how it will end.
Thanks, BBC/Discovery, for giving us a mind-feeding piece of entertainment.
