First Life: Conquest

With Sir David Attenborough

For 70 years David Attenborough has taken the world through eye-opening journeys throughout the natural world. He has released his new book and film called "A Life on Our Planet" which premiered on Netflix in early October 2020. This documentary shares what he has seen happen to the planet and includes a dire warning of what he believes is in store if we do not act diligently and quickly to save it.

We encourage all who can to watch this documentary. All of Attenborough's documentaries are a witness statement of what is happening to our planet and an adventure into its intricacies and magic. FAIM will be sharing seven of David's documentaries over the coming weeks in an effort to educate our readers on the beauty and diversity of environments known as our planet earth. We do this to bring to light the necessity to treasure the planet's health with the goal of inspiring efforts to do everything we can to protect the earth from demise. Climate change, pollution, and consumption are just a few realities that must be addressed to preserve our incredible space ship we live on. Please enjoy.


Conquest

In fifty years of broadcasting, Sir David Attenborough has travelled the globe to document the living world in all its wonder. Now, in a landmark series, he completes his journey by going back in time to the very roots of the tree of life, in search of the very first animals.

Attenborough's journey continues in Canada's Rocky Mountains, where fossils document an explosion in animal diversity never seen before or since. 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.
