More Info

Plants live secret, unseen lives. But they are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic as animals - locked in lifeand-death struggles for food and light, taking part in ferce battles for territory, and desperately trying to reproduce and scatter their young. 

Using pioneering new flmmaking technology and the very latest science, The Green Planet from BBC Studios reveals this strange and wonderful world of plants like never before. Sir David Attenborough travels across the globe, from the USA to Costa Rica, Croatia to northern Europe to fnd brand new stories and a fresh understanding of how plants live their lives.

The original soundtrack is composed by Benji Merrison and Will Slater who reveal, “The challenge was to create a score which allows the audience to connect with plants on an emotional level, much more of a conundrum than when scoring for the animal kingdom.” Acclaimed multidisciplinary music masters in their own right, Benji Merrison and Will Slater are now creating sounds for the screen together calling upon their collective experience from a music and arts education, work producing and touring records, as well composing for Film & TV.
