Five billion years ago an asteroid crashed into the earth. The impact tilted the planet at an angle of twenty-three and a half degrees. This cosmic accident created the world we know today. Using the sun as a guide, we set out on an epic global journey. In the Arctic, a polar bear family wakes to the first sunlight of spring: Will they find food before the ice starts to melt? Half a world away, an elephant mother and her calf must share precious
water with a pride of lions: Will their uneasy truce last? For the final leg of the journey, we follow a humpback whale mother. She must keep her calf safe on their 6000km migration to Antarctica.
This remarkable story, a spin-off of the award-winning BBC television series Planet Earth, creates an unforgettable journey through the changing seasons and daily struggle for life across our planet, from rarely seen stunning landscapes to the smallest details in the lives of our best loved, wildest and most elusive creatures.
No film has ever captured the immense scope of the drama of the earth, yet told it with the heartbreaking and heartwarming intimacy of real animal characters. Until now.
Seeing the breathtaking footage on the big screen does full justice to the crystal-clear photography. One day, Earth may be looked on as a repertoire of fabulous, semi-legendary creatures and landscapes: for now, though, it’s a stirring celebration of what we still have. – Screen International
