The Americas S1
Two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks narrates The Americas, from the Emmy-winning producers of Planet Earth and Blue Planet.
Scored by two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, the documentary series employs revolutionary filmmaking technology to showcase the wonders, secrets and fragilities of the Americas – Earth’s largest landmass and the only one to stretch between both poles.
Filmed over five years, The Americas has an 8.3/10 rating on IMDb and an 86% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As The Hollywood Reporter says, “The photography is astonishing. You’re bound to learn something … And provided you root for the cute, baby animals over the gnarly predators, your heart is likely to be lifted three to five times per episode.”
