Few storytellers have shaped global understanding of the natural world as profoundly as Sir David Attenborough.
As the legendary presenter and natural historian turns 100 on May 8, Sony BBC Earth is commemorating the milestone with a special programming initiative culminating in the exclusive premiere of 'Making Life on Earth: Attenborough’s Greatest Adventure'.
The channel earlier rolled out a curated ‘100 Days Tribute’, featuring some of Attenborough’s most iconic works across decades. The initiative builds up to the premiere of the one-hour special, offering viewers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the making of ‘Life on Earth’ a landmark series that redefined wildlife filmmaking.
