DESCRIPTION:
(from National Geographic Partners' press release, February 2022) If monkeys do math, whales mourn their dead, bees draw maps and the largest communication network on Earth is run by mushrooms - how special are we? For centuries we've set ourselves apart from nature because of the way we think and feel and learn, but the latest revelations from the fields of animal behavior, cognition and psychology reveal some astonishing truths about the other minds with which we share our planet. SENTIENT will show that life at all scales - plants, animals and arguably, entire ecosystems - has aspects of sentience and will ask us to rethink our place in nature. Executive producers for Protozoa are Darren Aronofsky and Ari Handel. Executive Producers for Wildstar Films are Mark Linfield and Vanessa Berlowitz. ("Planet Earth," "Frozen Planet"). The showrunner is Hannah Gibson ("Savage Kingdom" and "Earth From Space").
