Earth

France/U.K./Germany/U.S., 2007

From the asteroid hit that changed Earth’s angle to the sun five billion years ago to the present-day profusion of life made possible by that cosmic accident, this stirring BBC documentary blends wonder and warning about the fragile dynamics that sustain life on our planet. Earth revels in the beauty of the natural world while examining how climate change impacts species as far-flung as the Arctic polar bear, the African bush elephant and the humpback whale.

DCP, color, 90 min. Directors: Alastair Fothergill, Mark Linfield. Screenwriters: Mark Linfield, Leslie Megahey, Alastair Fothergill.
