    I am just flabbergasted by how good this documentary is. The cinematography, narration and info rival Planet Earth quality. I can’t believe this doesn’t have wide distribution. With only 7k views I feel fortunate having found it. The most truly gem-quality hidden gem I’ve seen in a long long time.

    27:20 Stupendous Night sky ablaze with stars and galaxies!! Need far more shots of this in the film.
    41:07 200 million year "living fossil" Welwichia plant that was a contemporary of the Dinosaurs.
    Beautiful and interesting documentary.
