More Than Honey (2012)
.jpg)
An in-depth look at honeybee colonies in California, Switzerland, China and Australia.
Beautifully photographed documentary presents its insights in a strangely impassive and unexcited tone, besides the global challenges facing bee cultures.

Encounters at the End of the World (2007)
.jpg)
Film-maker Werner Herzog travels to the McMurdo Station in Antarctica,
looking to capture the continent's beauty and investigate the characters
living there.
Typical for Werner Herzog, this exploration of a forbiddingly
uninhabitable and strange continent is idiosyncratic and intense and
offers insights no other director would achieve.
On re-watching: Always a fascinating watch, among Herzog's best documentaries.
Maltin***1/2: "This right-brain travelogue feeds the mind, the eye, and
the mind's eye. Wryly, sometimes impatiently, narrated by the director,
who dedicates the film to Roger Ebert."

Das geheime Leben der Bäume (2020)
.jpg)
When Peter Wohlleben published his book "The Hidden Life of Trees" in 2015, he quickly entered bestseller lists. The forester wrote vividly about his experience that trees are able to communicate with each other, a thesis explored here.
Fairly interesting documentary is more a portrait of the author than a serious and barely scientifically based presentation of its actual topic: the trees.

Life in Colour (2021)
Exploring the many ways animals use colour throughout their lives.
Fascinating short documentary series revealing recent scientific findings on the topic illustrated with some spectacular photography; the third and final episode is a bit of a summary of the techniques used for the series plus some remarks on the dangers of climate change.

David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet (2020)
One man has seen more of the natural world than any other; this feature documentary is his witness statement.
More heartfelt and stirring plea than just a documentary David Attenborough presents his warning of the damage humankind has brought upon the planet as a summation of his life's work, including some spectacular nature photography.
