In what could be described as 'Planet Earth from the perspective of plants', Sir David Attenborough travels the world to explore the extraordinary ways in which plants have learnt to survive and thrive in almost every environment. It's a journey that will see the 95-year-old venture to the rainforests of the tropics, and the wildernesses of the frozen north. Pioneering new filmmaking technology will take viewers beyond the capabilities of the human eye to see the hidden life of the green planet.
