A series of films from all over the world about our astonishing planet and the creatures that live on it.

Apart from fish and whales, the oceans contain billions of drifting animals, some so small that they completely escaped attention until the nineteenth century. Using remarkable close-up photography, this film by Peter Parks looks at the tiny world of plankton and reveals its surprising complexity and its strange beauty.
Commentary written and spoken by Hugh Falkus.
