This feature-length film tells the story of life on earth in the course of one single day, narrated by Robert Redford and made by BBC Earth Films.\n \nFilmed using cutting-edge 4K technology, this film features stunning visuals and scored a 100% positive rating on the critical aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The family feature took three years to make, filmed over 142 filming days in 22 countries and featuring 38 different species. It takes viewers up close and personal with a cast of unforgettable characters - a baby zebra desperate to cross a swollen river, a penguin who heroically undertakes a death-defying daily commute to feed his family, a family of sperm whales who like to snooze vertically, and a sloth on the hunt for love.\n \n'As a storyteller and filmmaker I often look to nature for sources of inspiration,' said Robert Redford, narrator. 'In Earth: One Amazing Day, BBC Earth Films captured the natural world and its inhabitants using the perfect combination of storytelling and cutting-edge technology. The scenes and images are as inspirational as they are beautiful, and I was honoured to be a part of the film.'\n \nTold with humour, intimacy, emotion and a jaw-dropping sense of cinematic splendour, this film is a colourful, ultra-vivid family-friendly adventure that spectacularly highlights how every day the natural world is filled with more unseen dramas and wonders than you can possibly imagine - until now.
