Human Planet - The Complete Series (DVD, Boxed set)


Following in the footsteps of Planet Earth and Life, this epic eight-part blockbuster is a breathtaking celebration of the amazing, complex, profound and sometimes challenging relationship between humankind and nature.

Humans are the ultimate animals – the most successful species on the planet. From the frozen Arctic to steamy rainforests, from tiny islands in vast oceans to parched deserts, people have found remarkable ways to adapt and survive in the harshest environments imaginable. We’ve done this by harnessing our immense courage and ingenuity; learning to live with and utilise the other creatures that share these wild places. Human Planet weaves together eighty inspiring stories, many never told before on television, set to a globally influenced soundtrack by award-winning composer Nitin Sawhney.

Each episode focuses on a particular habitat and reveals how its people have created astonishing solutions in the face of extreme adversity. Finally we visit the urban jungle, where most of us now live, and discover why the connection between humanity and nature in our cities is the most vital of all.

Only seen the first disc so far, but already feel like this is a must-buy. Fantastic photography, with many authentic insights into diverse cultural practices and ancient (yet often ingenious) strategies for bare human survival... and this in some truly extreme environments. If you're not sure whether you should buy this, at least just get to see a single disc, I doubt you'd be able to resist adding this to your collection. Outstanding work.
