Description

It's easy to question our significance... What is our place in all of this? What is our purpose? What is our story? Our story is both an awe-inspiring celebration of the natural world and a journey through the extraordinary story of our own species.

There are billions of planets in the universe. The vast majority are lifeless worlds. Once upon a time, Earth was just another among them - unstable, hostile. But unlike all the other planets we know, Earth's story has other chapters, and those chapters were written by life.

For millennia, the human story was just another one among many plots in the great narrative of life on Earth. We were the smartest species to have ever lived, yet the restlessness of the world around us kept our numbers small. Until something remarkable happened.

With stunning imagery and poetic narration, Our Story immerses readers in the most important story of all and offers a completely new way of looking at our species at a critical moment.

As Sir David Attenborough says in the show: 'It’s tempting to focus on the faults of humankind, to think of ourselves as a parasite on this beautiful planet. But after a long life exploring our world, that is not how I see our story. Instead, I see us as the ultimate problem solvers; smart enough to achieve anything we set our minds to. That, indeed, is our superpower. So let us use it for good!'

Because in the vastness of space and the unimaginable stretches of time, only you can help write the next chapter of Earth's story.

Praise for the show: 'Breathtaking' - Guardian; 'Inspiring' - Time Out; 'Vibrant, stirring and surprising' - BBC Wildlife; 'Dazzling' - Evening Standard
