Our Story with David Attenborough
A spectacular new 360° cinematic experience.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the epic tale of people and planet in this new 360° experience, presented by Sir David Attenborough.
Watch as the walls and floor burst into life around you. Witness the birth of life on our planet and see it evolve over thousands of years. Look on as a family of gorillas play in their lush forest home and follow the journey of a humpback whale beneath the waves.
Watch our human story from our earliest beginnings to the tipping point when we begin to influence the world around us.
Sir David’s words have crafted the experience, which reflects his lifetime exploring our planet and sharing its wonders with the world. His personal message of hope leaves us feeling empowered to help write the next chapter in our story.
Produced by the award-winning filmmakers behind many of Sir David’s documentaries, this new 50-minute experience blends footage of the natural world with cutting-edge animation to create something truly special that you can’t experience from home.
All ages are welcome but the content has been designed for those aged 8+. The performances will be captioned.
