The Green Planet
Description
The series aims to show plants' wondrous lives and features, and their relationship with animals, humans and the environment. The series is composed of 5 episodes, each dedicated to a specific habitat (Tropical, Water, Seasonal, Desert, and Human Worlds).
Plants live secret, unseen lives - but in their hidden
world and on their timescale, they are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic
as animals - locked in desperate battles for food, for light, to reproduce and
to scatter their young. Filmed around the world together with Sir David
Attenborough, the series employs the latest technologies and showcases over two
decades of new discoveries, giving rise to the first-ever immersive portrayal
of an unseen, inter-connected world. The Green Planet will reveal this strange
and wonderful world like never before.

Relevance
The series depicts a detailed picture of the importance of the plants’ role not only in the Earth’s balance, but also its ability to sustain life. It also shares with the viewer gloomy future prospects whether we lose important habitats such as the tropical rainforests.
As it has been produced and released this year, the documentary also features the latest technologies to film the protagonists of the series, and it is presented nonetheless by Sir David Attenborough.
