Sacred Planet

1904 Media | PBS

Sacred Planet is a new four-part documentary series exploring Earth’s most hallowed places in search of hope and resilience on a changing planet. Part cinematic odyssey, part spiritual meditation, environmental journalist Gulnaz Khan travels to natural and cultural sanctuaries in Japan, Colombia, Peru, and the African Sahel. Each episode offers more than a portrait of threatened ecological beauty; it unfolds a deeply human story of reverence and renewal. In these sacred sites rarely accessed by outsiders, Khan meets with Indigenous elders, spiritual leaders, and community stewards confronting the climate crisis with centuries-old ecological wisdom.

For this documentary series, Faction provided color grading, focusing on a high-contrast, naturally saturated look that enhanced the visual storytelling and beauty of each location while preserving authenticity.
