Planet Earth ll

In this sequel to the Emmy-winning series, you experience the world from the viewpoint of animals themselves. Planet Earth was the first natural history documentary to be filmed in high definition, and now a decade later improved technology has made it possible to capture further details, from elusive animal behaviors to previously inaccessible remote landscapes. Every aspect of this series is truly stunning.
