BBC Home Entertainment has officially announced the Blu-ray release of Attenborough's Life Stories, a three-part treasure trove of stories that chart the renowned naturalist's career with the BBC. Life Stories arrives on Blu-ray on February 12, 2013.
With distinctive eloquence and enthusiasm for his subject, Attenborough is our incomparable guide in a lifelong journey through the natural world. How do you trap a Komodo dragon? Can a lion take down an elephant? Why are animals distributed in the way they are around the world? How do animals communicate with one another? What is climate change? How can the health of the planet be insured?
Attenborough answers these questions and more, recounting with wit and humor all the wonders of the natural world he has been able to share with his viewers – wonders sometimes never before seen on television. The 86-year old veteran of wildlife filmmaking returns to key locations that played a part in his remarkable body of work, shares old photos, anecdotes and rare footage from the early days in his television career. Informed by a lifetime devoted to understanding and documenting the natural world, Attenborough also shares with viewers his unique personal reflections about nature and the earth.
