One Life, which is narrated by James Bond star Daniel Craig, was created from more than 10,000 hours of footage filmed from every continent. It examines the journey of all living things and offers never-before-captured sequences of animal behavior and stunning scenery. One Life premieres Sunday at 8/7c on Nat Geo WILD.
