The Year Earth Changed

Showcasing exclusive footage from around the world after an unprecedented year, the documentary special The Year Earth Changed is a timely effort that takes a fresh new approach to the global lockdown and the uplifting stories that have come out of it. From hearing birdsong in deserted cities, to witnessing whales communicating in new ways, to encountering capybaras in South American suburbs, people all over the world have had the chance to engage with nature like never before. In the one-hour special, viewers will witness how changes in human behavior — reducing cruise ship traffic, closing beaches a few days a year, identifying more harmonious ways for humans and wildlife to co-exist — can have a profound impact on nature. The documentary, narrated by David Attenborough, is a love letter to planet earth, highlighting the ways nature bouncing back can give us hope for the future.
