Journey to Planet Earth: "State of the Planet" Hosted by Matt Damon

Matt Damon hosts "The State of the Planet," part of the PBS environmental television series JOURNEY TO PLANET EARTH.

We investigate some of the most critical questions of the 21st century. Are populations soaring out of control? Will there be enough water and food for future generations? And global warming -- a false alarm or a gathering storm? We will visit parts of the world suffering from human overcrowding, hunger and despair -- places where disease is rampant. But we'll also bring you stories of hope and courage -- and celebrate the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Ultimately, our story is really about why we as individuals and members of a global community should take these issues seriously before it's too late. I think we owe it to our children and grandchildren. So please join me now -- as we begin our journey.
