I'm Rebecca Lervoy and this is You Can't make this up as the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind your favorite

Netflix documentaries and films. On today's episode, we take a closer look at the return of the Netflix documentary series, Our Planet 2.

And only now are we beginning to understand that all life on earth depends on the freedom to move?

Today we're talking to Executive Producer Keith Sculli and series producer Hugh Cordy.

In every corner of our world at any given moment billions of animals have someplace important to be.

From whales to pumas, from crablets to cranes, almost every animal migrates.

They're driven by instinct and patterns of their ancestors over millions of years.

And the health of our planet depends on it.

But as the climate warms and the impact of humanity spreads into ever more remote regions of the natural world, can these animals

adapt to survive?

Our planet too takes us to some of the most remote locations on the globe and gives us never before seen images of creatures on the move and on the hunt.

And as the animal kingdom moves with purpose, we must ask whether humans will stand in their way or help them go where they need to be.

And with our help, many animals are now overcoming the challenges of our modern world.

For a healthy and connected planet,

we must preserve the freedom to move.

And if we do, the vital journeys of each and every animal will continue for years to come. And I'm joined now by executive producer Keith Sculli and series producer Hugh Cordy.
