David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet
In his more than nine decades of life, Sir David Attenborough has traveled to every corner of the Earth, documenting the beauty, complexity, and wonder of the natural world. Few individuals have witnessed the planet as closely, or as continuously, as he has.
But A Life on Our Planet is not simply a celebration of that journey. It is a reflection. A personal account of what has been lost, what remains, and what is still possible.
Told through Attenborough’s own voice, the film serves as both a witness statement and a call to awareness. It traces the dramatic transformation of Earth’s ecosystems over the course of a single lifetime, revealing the scale of human impact while also pointing toward a path forward grounded in balance, restoration, and collective responsibility.
As the opening film of the Make Earth COOL Again Celebration and Film Festival, this screening is intentionally placed at the beginning of the program. It sets the stage for everything that follows, offering a shared understanding of the challenges we face and the urgency of the moment, while reminding us that solutions remain within reach.
This is not a distant story. It is our story, unfolding now.
Following the film, guests are invited to stay for a brief reflection and conversation as we begin a week of films, music, and community engagement centered on one essential idea: that awareness, when paired with action, has the power to shape what comes next.
