This intimate portrait follows Attenborough’s years on the road, from the islands of the Galapagos to the mountains of Canada to the jungles of Borneo. Combining exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, candid interviews from David on location, and stunning footage from his pioneering documentaries, this film chronicles an Attenborough never seen before.
Witness Sir David’s love of fossils as a young boy in Leicester transform into a passion for the natural world in his field of study at Cambridge. From his early days as a presenter on BBC’s Zoo Quest, Attenborough rose through the ranks to become the foremost natural history presenter in the world, a beloved figure known for his cheeky remarks and remarkably timed footage. An avid advocate for climate change, Attenborough never settled down and continues to work on groundbreaking productions.
