Sir David Attenborough’s feature documentary, David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet, premiered in cinemas across the globe in September 2020. The film serves as Attenborough’s witness statement for the natural world and his vision for the future.

In his 96 years, Attenborough has visited every continent on the globe, documenting the living world in all its variety and wonder. In this film, he reflects upon both the defining moments of his lifetime as a naturalist and the devastating changes he has seen.

Honest, revealing and urgent, David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet is a powerful first-hand account of humanity’s impact on nature and a message of hope for future generations.

Colin Butfield, WWF’s Executive Producer for the film, says: “For decades, David has brought the natural world to the homes of audiences worldwide, but there has never been a more significant moment for him to share his own story and reflections. This film coincides with a monumental year for environmental action as world leaders make critical decisions on nature and climate. It sends a powerful message from the most inspiring and celebrated naturalist of our time.”     

Keith Scholey, Executive Producer at Silverback Films, adds: “I’ve worked with David on many projects throughout my career, but to collaborate on this film, which is so important at this time, has been a real privilege. At 94 years old (now 96), his knowledge and insight of the natural world remains as relevant and cherished today as it was the first time he introduced the British public to pangolins and sloths on television. This new film will bring together those historic moments with his views on the current problems our natural world faces and how we can solve them.”

David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet was produced by Silverback Films and WWF. The film is available to watch on Netflix.
