Altitude Announce The Release Postponed For DAVID ATTENBOROUGH: A LIFE ON OUR PLANET Until Later in 2020

FILM RELEASE POSTPONED UNTIL LATER IN 2020

In light of recent government advice for COVID-19, we regret to inform you that the release of David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet has been postponed in cinemas and on Netflix until later in 2020. Unfortunately, this means that the world premiere event and cinema screenings of the film will no longer be taking place on 16^th April as initially planned.

This decision has been made by WWF together with its partners, including the Royal Albert Hall, with the health and safety of attendees in mind. We are currently looking at options for a release later this year and will update you as soon as new timings and arrangements have been confirmed.

ABOUT WWF
WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) is one of the world’s largest independent conservation organisations, active in nearly 100 countries. Our supporters – more than five million of them – are helping us to restore nature and to tackle the main causes of nature’s decline, particularly the food system and climate change. We’re fighting to ensure a world with thriving habitats and species, and to change hearts and minds so it becomes unacceptable to overuse our planet’s resources.
