EPISODE 1
David Attenborough: Behind the Lens
In his early eighties, Attenborough turned his back on retirement to embark upon one of the most ambitious and prolific chapters of his career yet, making eleven extraordinary projects using pioneering technology such as 3D, 4K and VR. Using behind-the-scenes footage, new interviews, and extraordinary clips from some of his recent films, we discover a side to Attenborough that few have had the privilege of seeing. We see a deeply passionate man whose wit and humour draws teams together through the most challenging shoots, but whose imposing presence and legacy demands the very best from the crews around him. This intimate film, shot over seven years, follows Attenborough on the road, from the islands of the Galapagos and the deserts of Morocco, to the jungles of Borneo.
