Obama tells stories of animals all around the world in Netflix's 'Our National Parks'

The new Netflix docuseries “Our Great National Parks” takes viewers to national parks around the world, from the Chilean Patagonia to Kenya's Tsavo East National Park — to the soothing narration of one of the show’s executive producers, former President Barack Obama.

Executive producer James Honeyborne says his UK-based production company Wild Space Productions connected with the Obama’s Higher Ground Productions through Netflix.

“We knew President Obama had protected more public lands and waters and any other U.S. president in history,” Honeyborne says. “So it just seemed a very natural fit for us to work together in celebrating wilderness and wildlife by framing a series around national parks.”
