‘Our Planet’ Producer Silverback Films Returns with David Attenborough’s Powerful “Witness Statement” to the World

, the ground-breaking series mixed jaw-dropping scenes of nature with an urgent reminder to viewers that everything they are witnessing on screen is imperiled by human activity.Billed as Attenborough’s witness statement to the world, it documents the famed 94-year-old naturalist’s life in film-making, the destructive impact of humans on the natural world – and his vision for change to save the planet.

Scholey adds: “I don’t think people have heard David talking so bluntly, passionately and emotionally about that journey.” Since launch, Silverback has grown to around 100 people and has gone on a journey of its own: from being filmmakers wanting to highlight the wonders of the natural world to using film to drive positive environmental change.

For example, Silverback presented “Our Planet” at Davos, where Attenborough was interviewed by Prince William. That led to an invitation from International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde to present to the IMF. Scholey says that what is different is that Silverback is now not frightened of depressing viewers with the content it makes. In other words, natural history programme making is no longer just about the splendor of nature. “I think it is time for honesty – so I hope it is viewed as honest journalism rather than a campaigning view because we’re not actually fitting to an agenda. We’re just following the science.

Attenborough so watchable and his message important.
