Discovery Channel LIFE

2009-11-10T23:26:11-08:00

A new and exciting series surfaces as Discovery Channel announces this week that they've booked none other than the famous Oprah Winfrey to narrate the 11 part series of LIFE. We were allowed a sneak preview of the series and think this is a powerful follow-up to Discovery's Planet Earth. Unlike Planet Earth, LIFE focuses on the in depth relations between prey and predator, male and female & mother and baby. Not to mention the up close and personal state-of-the-art high def film footage of amazing creatures, you wont have problems seeing every eyeball or vein! Discovery's LIFE is set to air in the US in March 2010. Stay tuned for exclusive products and offers for this new series.
