ONE LIFE

Narrated by Daniel Craig

Written & Directed by Michael Gunton & Martha Holmes

Another staggeringly fantastic BBC wildlife film highlighting the beauty, drama, dangers, drive for survival and fascination of nature and its living creatures.

Shot all over the world, from bugs, frogs, birds, fish and seals, to monkeys, cheetahs, lizards, dolphins, whales and more, we get another vivid look at how the world works, its magnificence and importance in the eco-system of our planet. Be it the location of giving birth, hierarchies, using tools like rocks to crack nuts, or in icy areas staying warm in hot springs, we cannot help but see ourselves in them, since after all, we're bound in more ways than we may realize (yet humans tend to display most of the nasty traits, and can actually learn a lesson or two from the animal world).

Narrated by Daniel Craig (the recent James Bond), we're yet again shown how integrally we're connected to all life on earth, and no matter how small or big, our futures are interlinked. Some moments will bring even the hardest amoung us to tears.

An 18 minute Making Of featurette gives you a closer look at how this was put together, incl. shooting, editing and music.
