In the fight to protect mother earth, join host Simon Baker on a one of a kind, global road trip deep inside native communities passionately defending their way of life against overwhelming environmental threats. From New Zealand to Ecuador, Hawaii to Australia, Native Planet is a six part documentary series that transports you to the front lines of an aboriginal inspired fight to protect mother earth. Travel the globe with series host and acclaimed First Nations actor Simon Baker and go deep into fascinating native communities waging a David and Goliath fight for the environment, their rights and ultimately, their survival. Native Planet takes you behind the headlines as Simon gains intimate access to native leaders and organizations behind some of the most important environmental challenges on the planet today. Entertaining, informative, fast paced and inspirational, Native Planet is about the unique spiritual connection First Peoples have with mother earth and their passion to defend it. Each one hour episode shares a character driven story where internationally recognized native communities confront threats to the environmental, their territory, culture and identity. As we experience through season one of Native Planet, the loss of habitat, radical changes in weather patterns and the sudden disappearance of natural species are often most evident to native peoples, the true stewards of our planet. With the series delivering front row access to some of the most compelling environmental challenges in the world today, Native Planet is crafted to attract an international TV and Web audience concerned with global environmental issues, the sustainability of native peoples and the future of our planet. Throughout season one's six, one hour TV episodes environmental conflict and threats to native territory often involve the predatory practices of multinational corporations and the complicit involvement of local governments. While Native Planet reveals and raises the voices of unsung Aboriginal heroes, every effort is made to integrate the point of view of antagonistic forces threatening native communities, territory or the environment.
