PLANET EARTH (2006) - Narrated by David Attenborough




"A hundred years ago, there were one and a half billion people on Earth. Now, over six billion crowd
our fragile planet. But even so, there are still places barely touched by humanity. This series will
take you to the last wildernesses and show you the planet and its wildlife as you have never seen them
before."
David Attenborough's opening narration

Description:
Genre: Documentary
IMDB rating: 6.8/10 (644 votes)
Directed by: Morgan Spurlock
Starring: Morgan Spurlock, Alexandra Jamieson

If Morgan Spurlock has learned anything from over 30 years of movie-watching, its that if the world needs saving, its best done by one lone man willing to face danger head on to take it down, action hero style. So, with no military experience, knowledge or expertise, he sets off to do what the CIA, FBI and countless bounty hunters have failed to do: find the worlds most wanted man. Why take on such a seemingly impossible mission? Simple-he wants to make the world safe for his soon to be born child. But before he finds Osama bin Laden, he first needs to learn where he came from, what makes him tick, and most importantly, what exactly created bin Laden to begin with.

ABOUT STEVE IRWIN - The "Crocodile Hunter"

Stephen Robert Irwin (February 22, 1962 – September 4, 2006), known simply as Steve Irwin, nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", was an iconic Australian television personality, wildlife expert, and conservationist.

On September 4, 2006, the international community mourned the premature loss of animal expert and conservationist Steve Irwin who hosted Animal Planet’s “The Crocodile Hunter” since October 1996. The world was stunned and the outpouring of condolences was immeasurable. Irwin touched so many lives — adults and children alike — and his impact on conservation efforts worldwide will last for years to come.

On Sunday, 21 January 2007 from 8 to 10 p.m. (ET/PT), Discovery Channel and Animal Planet simultaneously broadcast a two-hour television tribute in honour of Irwin's legacy including the premiere of his last television documentary, Ocean's Deadliest.

Steve Irwin was Born in Essendon, Victoria, Australia in 1962 who died while filming Ocean’s Deadliest. He was killed when a stingray barb fatally pierced his heart last September 4. After Irwin’s death, thousands of people left mementos and flowers at the Australia Zoo in Queensland, where Irwins’s “Crocoseum” served as the site of a Sept 20 memorial service to respect this Crocodile Hunter.

Irwin had left his family, his friends, and others but his spirit, his enthusiasm and his passion towards wildlife will remain forever in many people’s hearts.

DOCUMENTARY INFO

Ocean’s Deadliest, a 90-minute documentary featuring some of the most dangerous residents off Australia’s coast, was simultaneously telecast on Animal Planet and Discovery Channel in the United States on 21 January 2007. Following Ocean’s Deadliest is a half-hour programme that honours Irwin. The tribute includes previously unaired footage and also a little more personal details on Irwin.

Lurking only a few feet below the surface of eastern Australia's crystalline ocean are some of the most dangerous animals on the planet. For thousands of years, venomous snakes, saltwater crocodiles and immense sharks have patrolled these waters. Now, in the hope of studying nature's most dangerous creations, two adventurers of legendary reputation and pedigree embark on an epic mission that requires leadership of an experienced, knowledgeable and fearless crew. Irwin is joined by explorer and adventurer Philippe Cousteau , grandson of the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, in Ocean's Deadliest as they explore the waters between Australia's Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef. Throughout this expedition, Philippe and Steve come face to face with venomous fish, huge great white sharks and amazing saltwater crocodiles as they search for the region's most dangerous animal. Along the way, they will meet the scientific experts who work with these creatures on a regular basis, learning the reason why they have evolved with such dangerous defenses and also learning that, in truth, they fill a role in the overall ecosystem that is vital and cannot be overlooked. Their adventure features amazing and breathtaking moments, including subduing a giant croc in order to attach a satellite tracking device; observing the feeding behavior of the great white shark while safely tucked away inside a dive cage and working with the Australian experts who capture deadly sea snakes in order to supply anti-venom to the rest of the world.

Cousteau, who was aboard Croc One with Irwin during the expedition when he was struck and killed by a stingray, narrates the 90-minute documentary.

Ocean’s Deadliest does not refer to Irwin’s death until its closing shot... a still photo of Irwin, smiling broadly, and the words “In Memory of Steve Irwin”.
