- # best-selling documentary on DVD of all time.

Now there's LIFE, an 11-Part Series, available on DVD on Blu-ray. The US version is narrated by Oprah Winfrey and the original UK version by Sir David Attenborough.

It took more than 4 years to make, with over 3000 days of filming across every continent and habitat. You see up close the tactics that animals and plants use to stay alive. And there's 130 stories told on film, 54 of which have never been filmed before.

Pretty gripping stuff.

And it's even more gripping, thanks to being filmed entirely in high-definiton and the "yogi cam, developed specifically for LIFE, which allowed a camera to track smoothly alongside migrating reindeer and elephants, intricate cable rigging which enabled the crew to 'fly' a camera through thousands of monarch butterflies in Mexico and high-definition low-light cameras that allowed for time-lapse underwater filming."

The 11 episodes cover:

-The Challenges of Life
- Reptiles and Amphibians
- Mammals
- Fish
-Birds
- Insects
- Hunters and Hunted
- Creatures of the Deep
- Plants
-Primates
- The Making of Life

And of course there are bonus features as well.

So enjoy not only screen firsts, but stunning and revolutionary footage that may just make you leave your job to go and work with animals in a remote area of Kenya or Antarctica.

Buy LIFE now on DVD and Blu-ray.

p.s. It is a great gift for Father's Day, June 20th!
