• Summary:"Native Planet is a six part documentary series that takes you around the world to experience the passion and connection native peoples have with mother earth - and their will to defend it. In each one hour program, guide and narrative host Simon Baker transports you to the front lines of the most compelling Aboriginal conflicts taking place around the planet today. Whether the fight is for land, water or Indigenous rights, these programs take you deep into fascinating Aboriginal communities and cultures where charismatic leaders are waging a passionate defence of the planet. When climate change and environmental disasters dominate headlines and influence social change, Native Planet intimately reveals an Indigenous perspective on issues that may soon determine the balance of humanity on earth.: -- distributor's website
