- Synopsis
- Over five billion years, life on Earth has evolved into the incredible richness and variety we see today. LIFE is a celebration of the most brilliant and imaginative stories of survival from the animal kingdom. The story arc takes us through the full cycle of life to the birth of the next generation, but it also goes one step further – revealing that, whether we have wings or flippers, two legs or eight, the triumphant story of life connects us all.
  Finding food. Seeking shelter. Survival against all odds. Finding a soul mate. Raising children. The themes of LIFE are universal and will touch the hearts of audiences everywhere.
  Cutting-edge cinematic techniques capture unprecedented, astonishingly beautiful sequences. We’ll see the depth of a mother’s love through the octopus that gives up her life for her babies, and as snow monkeys shun outsiders from their hot springs, we’ll be reminded of the uncomfortable inequalities that exist in many societies. Importantly, parallels with the human world will be sensitively drawn – never forced or overplayed.
  Relevant, engaging but above all, amazing – this is LIFE.
