Our Earth





This is the planet that gives us LIFE; and this is the same planet we are KILLING
Disneynature's Earth is a documentary about the only known planet capable of supporting life. It shows how different species of both flora and fauna struggle for survival;and how the mere existence of humankind and its exploitation of the resources tremendously affected the environmental cycle. 

This documentary primarily showed how beautiful the Earth is (used to be) and what living-in-one-with-nature really means. 

Both the hunters and the hunted have a role to play in maintaining the ecological balance- this was the general principle presented in the film. As unfair as it may seem, there are just events in nature that favor those who are stronger,better. This documentary is both a literal and an allegorical presentation of life.

I watched how a pride of lion takes down an elephant, and I thought---this is no match with the injustice of humans. As the great white shark emerged from the water's surface to display its powerful jaws, that scene is still no match with how power-hungry and blood thirsty people have become.

On the other hand, the bond between each individual (especially that of a mother and offspring) had been portrayed. It also showed the unfolding of seasons; the transition from one stage to the other. There were stories of sacrifices, loss, bravery and success. 

Our Mother Earth has a story to tell...It isn't just her story but it's the story of us all-her children.
