Full Description:

Native Planet is a soul enriching documentary series that travels the world to explore the deep connection native peoples have with mother earth – and their passion to defend it. In each one-hour episode, Canadian Indigenous actor and cultural activist Simon Baker visits remote native communities to see how their traditional Indigenous knowledge is inspiring new, sustainable solutions for our changing climate and world. From ground-breaking clean energy projects to innovative sustainability initiatives, Simon uncovers revolutionary new ways of protecting our environment, oceans, food supply, and social structures. Every episodic expedition frames an emotive, informative, richly entertaining and cinematic experience, where Simon embeds himself in remote Indigenous communities, immerses himself in ancient cultural practices, survives on their traditional foods and takes part in time-honoured rituals. As climate change and the environment dominate international headlines and influence social change, Native Planet examines our world through an Indigenous lens, revealing a way of life that just may be the key to our survival on planet earth.
