A sneak peek of David Attenborough's new documentary has been released, five weeks ahead of its release date.

A Life On Our Planet will drop in cinemas across the globe on 28th September, with a Netflix release date to follow in the autumn.

Wildlife charity WWF, who co-produced the film with Sir David, have now given a taste of what's to come with a brand new clip from the long-awaited doc released on Thursday.


Announcing the new clip in a statement, WWF said: "The film, which serves as Attenborough's witness statement for the natural world, will screen in select cinemas across the UK, the Netherlands, Iceland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Australia and New Zealand, before being released widely to theatres in those territories.

"In his 94 years, Attenborough has visited every continent on the globe, documenting the living world in all its variety and wonder. Now, for the first time he reflects upon both the defining moments of his lifetime as a naturalist and the devastating changes he has seen."

It added: "Honest, revealing and urgent, David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet is a powerful first-hand account of humanity's impact on nature and a message of hope for future generations."

A trailer released earlier this year comprises a dazzling compilation of clips from the Attenborough archive, moving from black and white footage of some of his earliest documentaries to the present day.

The movie was originally due to receive its world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall on 16th April, accompanied by a live Q&A with the great man himself, ahead of a wider release in cinemas - but the movie became a casualty of the coronavirus pandemic, causing delays.

Keith Scholey, co-founder of Silverback Films and director of the film, added: "Recently, all of us have experienced the impacts of COVID-19 - a devastating consequence of our broken relationship with the natural world.

"As we rebuild from the pandemic, Sir David's reflections and messages of hope feel particularly timely and relevant. He not only addresses why we must urgently mend our relationship with nature, but also offers solutions to ensuring a safe and sustainable future for our planet and its people.

"We look forward to bringing Sir David's story to screens across the globe this autumn."

Cinemas are likely to be packed due to social distancing measures so make sure you book ahead to avoid disappointment
