Theatrical Release Information:
Earth: The Biography [TV Documentary Series]

The unique documentary series Earth: The Biography takes the biographical approach and structure typically applied to nonfiction films about an individual's life, and re-applies it to the history of the Earth. The series touches on pivotal biospheric elements that make the Earth special - that enable it to function with great fluidity and set it apart from other planets in the solar system and beyond. Subtopics include the roles of ice, the Earth's seas, volcanoes, the atmosphere and much more. The program raises key, penetrating questions about how those elements mold and shape life and impact the quality of life on Earth. Episodes are abetted throughout by super-advanced CGI animation that underscores each pivotal insight, and time-lapse photography shot over a period of months that reveals changes not immediately obvious to the unaided eye. The series builds up to the conclusion that because the Earth is so unique and offers such incredible treasures, it doubles mankind's accountability to the environment. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
