Planet in Peril on AllMovie

A program that deliberately and aggressively slices through widespread conservative attempts to dismiss global warming, ozone depletion and other environmental hazards, the three-hour documentary Planet in Peril finds a trio of broadcast journalists - Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Anderson Cooper of CNN, and wildlife biologist Jeff Corwin of Animal Planet - trekking around the world to thirteen different countries. In each locale, the men witness the firsthand impacts of environmental deterioration on plant, animal and human life, and speculate on the dire future of the Earth if such catastrophes continue to grow.
