1. Our Planet

Our Planet was released on Netflix as an eight-part nature documentary series in April 2019. While it’s easy to get lost in breathtaking habitats, it’s a documentary that opens your eyes to the climate problems we are currently facing.

While you are enjoying the series, notice how the beautiful scenes on your screen are accompanied by the grim reality our planet is facing. The film focuses on showing you luscious forests and animals flourishing but will then hit you with some ground-breaking realities about the present and future state of our planet.

Our Planet focuses on bringing attention to how the way we live is having an impact on the animals around us. It’s a great informational piece that would be great for kids to watch and learn about what is going on in the world.

David Attenborough narrates the series using his wonderful passion and knowledge for nature. As you’d expect from one of his programs, some of the camera work is truly breathtaking as he shows you how some of the most beautiful places in the world are in danger.
