Richard Attenborough

English broadcaster and filmmaker Richard Attenborough’s life journey is nothing short of inspirational. You might look at the man’s achievements and think he lived two lifetimes, given the sheer amount of what he achieved.

His exploits will not fit in a page, and for the veteran who conquered the skies as a soldier in the Royal Airforce and later took nature documentaries by storm, legends are already told about him. As an actor and director, Richard excelled everywhere, and his films are still benchmarks of excellence. Years after he took his final bow, in 2014, his name is still hallowed in the world of wildlife and natural preservation.
