Planeta A, with nine 50-minute episodes, will focus on urgent and emerging problems linked to sustainability from a Portuguese perspective, but within a global context.

By providing information and raising public awareness of key issues, from the climate and the oceans, including production and consumption, to democracy and education, the documentary series also highlights the overarching reach of the different initiatives carried out by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in this regard.

Directed by Jorge Pelicano, Planeta A is expected to have its television début in 2021.
