FACTUAL
A Life on Our Planet, says it is a different film “in so many ways” to ones that Attenborough has made before.
He thinks there are two
reasons it affected so many people. One is the timing of the film’s release. “The world is suddenly asking really, really deep questions about this issue of the future of the planet, one that has come to a head with COP26. I think it just hit that moment where people wanted to know more.” But they also wanted to hear what the great man had to say, adds Scholey, describing Attenborough as a ‘grandfather figure’ to turn to at a time of great international crisis. It’s something Scholey witnessed first hand at COP26, where Silverback worked with Attenborough on his powerful opening address to world leaders attending the climate change summit. “So many people want to hear him at
COP26. There was a big group of world leaders attending, and David is just a broadcaster. But his speech was the most significant. And he was the person that really everyone wanted to listen to.” Scholey says public opinion about the
need to tackle climate change has shifted significantly since 2015’s Paris Agreement, which saw nations set out plans to limit
global warming to well below 2°C, and this year’s COP26.
THE WORLD IS SUDDENLY ASKING REALLY, REALLY DEEP QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE
“When the Paris Agreement had happened, the people close to it were really excited. But I think the world at large thought, ‘What are they so excited about? What does this mean?’ Now, everyone knows what it means. The world has changed in that period. “All of us in the media who have worked in this space have been part and parcel of that
change. And I think we feel really proud. I think that the film did play its role. “I know some people are disappointed with the outcome of COP. But I think the world’s not going back. There has been a shift. No-one’s going to bother to invest in the past - in the fossil fuel era - because they’ll lose money. There is huge political pressure growing from the public. It’s past that tipping point.” One of the reasons for this huge
political pressure is because films like David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet have focused the world’s attention on the issue so effectively – not by lecturing people, but through the storytelling power of television.
