Discovery Marks 40th Anniversary With Self-Celebratory Docuseries ‘Discovery Changed My Life’
Discovery is launching 'Discovery Changed My Life', a series about how the network's programs and content have sparked passions in remarkable people.
Discovery Changed My Life seems like a chance for WBD to drown out the corporate noise and remind people why the factual network has built such a loyal audience over the years. It will feature Darren Britz, a wildlife cinematographer who grew up watching Deadliest Catch and Man vs Wild and now captures big cats in their natural habitats; Portuguese surfer and musician João Kopke, who’s thirst for knowledge and adventure was fulled by the channel; French survivalist and hiking guide Eleanore Lluna, whose fascination with Naked and Afraid and Bear Grylls: Escape From Hell inspired her to take on the wilderness herself and build a career; and Joshua Adayemi, a Nigeria-born community organizer who now leads the Black Scottish Adventurers, having watched Discovery shows on a neighbor’s television as a child. “Discovery Changed My Life is more than a celebration of our legacy — it’s proof of the power of this brands storytelling to ignite passions, shift perspectives, and shape lives,” said Lee Hobbs, WBD’s SVP of Creative, EMEA.
