A miraculous mantle envelops the entire planet - a thin skin of gasses called 'air'. Without it, there would be no life or weather, no habitable conditions, or protection from lethal ultraviolet radiation or meteorites from outer space.

It's the solid crust of our planet, the perfect element in which to record the stories of deep time and of lifetimes. Change and progression is the way of earth. Air and water turn solid rock into soil.

How the flow of water has the power to shape all inhabitants on Earth, produces climate-changing weather and supporting species, from the largest whales to microscopic plankton.

Plants are communicating, helping each other thrive; staying aware of their surroundings by using dozens of highly sensitive sensors, plants are sending signals, even across species.

In order to adapt to different environments, protect themselves from enemies, obtain food, and reproduce, insects have become highly specialized; they transform themselves into completely different creatures, changing their habitat and even food.

Microorganisms are the rulers and guardians of Earth.

Exploring nature as seen through the hearts, minds and eyes of the world's greatest female cinematographers.
