Sir David Attenborough is a passionate Darwinian. Marking the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his world-changing book, On the Origin of Species. Attenborough shares his personal insight on Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, which he credits as the cornerstone of all his thinking, and tells how Darwin's ideas have permeated everything he’s ever filmed or written. In the documentary, Attenborough asks three key questions: how and why did Darwin come up with his theory, why do we think he was right and why is it more important now than ever before?
