Earth

Earth is a 2007 nature documentary film which depicts the diversity of wild habitats and creatures across the planet. The film begins in the Arctic in January of one year and moves southward, concluding in Antarctica in the December of the same year. Along the way, it features the journeys made by three particular species—the polar bear, African bush elephant and humpback whale—to highlight the threats to their survival in the face of rapid environmental change. A companion piece to the 2006 BBC Worldwide/Discovery Channel/NHK/Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television series Planet Earth, the film uses many of the same sequences, though most are edited differently, and features footage not seen on TV. A British-German co-production, Earth was directed by Planet Earth
