David Attenborough’s First Life – Conquest
Our next Eco Film on Friday, June 7th will be another episode of David Attenborough’s First Life – Conquest.
2010, 59 minutes. BBC. UK, English w/subtitles
Following the Tree of Life, Attenborough’s journey continues in Canada’s Rocky Mountains, where fossils document an explosion in animal diversity never seen before or after. Travelling from there to North Africa, the rainforests of Australia and the east coast of Scotland, Attenborough discovers how animals evolved to conquer not only the oceans but also the land and air.
These remote and fascinating creatures are brought to life as never before with the help of cutting-edge scientific technology and photorealistic visual effects. From the first large predators to the first legs on land, these were creatures that evolved the traits and tools that allow all animals, including ourselves, to survive to this day.
