ONLINE: A Zoom invitation link will be sent the Friday before each class session begins.
Session One: Human, Four Interviews; Sir David Attenborough and Prince William
Session Two: Heroes, Making of Planet Earth III
Join us for the final episodes of Planet Earth III, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, where animal life in natural habitats and wilderness extremes is viewed up close from within our homes. In the first session, Sir David Attenborough takes us for a close look at how animals are adapting to the human-dominated world. Can they adapt quickly enough to survive? We will also watch four interviews ranging from 3 to 39 minutes long with Sir Attenborough and/or Prince William, who is the founder of The Earthshot Prize. In these interviews, urgent questions are discussed about the future of this planet, and we receive a brief introduction to what is referred to in climate science as ‘the tipping point.’ The second session provides the final episode with a hopeful look at conservation heroes fighting to save wildlife. This will be followed by a behind-the-scenes look at the final chapter of the Planet Earth Trilogy. Linda Gintowt holds an M.A. in drama from the University of Toronto. She has a passion for history and the preservation of art, culture, and the natural world. Linda previously served as the Elderwise Program Coordinator, and is pleased to share her interests with Elderwise friends.
