The Blue Planet (2001)

Five years of patient and meticulous underwater photography from all around the world have all led to this massively comprehensive documentary covering the sweeping scope of marine life on Earth. Whether the crew is plunging into the deepest and most alien depths on Earth or exploring the dwindling Arctic ecosystems, these windows into underwater worlds make clear both the ingenuity of biological evolution but also how these ecosystems are delicately balanced around symbiotic relationships that have developed over the course of millions of years. And while marine life is everywhere, it takes strange new forms wherever it manages to find new purchase.

The Blue Planet is a documentary show featuring David Attenborough and created by Alastair Fothergill.

The Blue Planet is currently streaming on Discovery+ and Discovery+ Amazon Channel.

It is also possible to buy The Blue Planet on Amazon Video, Apple TV, Google Play Movies and Vudu.
