Directed by Charles Sturridge and starring Bill Nighy and Gemma Arterton the film reminds us that there is still so much out there we don’t know about, and only by preserving nature can we guarantee more of these discoveries in the future. Partly filmed at the Natural History Museum in London and shown in cinemas across the UK before going online.
