The King, seen here in 1999, has spent many years trying to help the environment
The 90-minute film is a collaboration with the King's charity, The King's Foundation, and has been released on the streaming service Amazon Prime.
It looks at his many years of campaigning to protect the planet and the natural world.
In the documentary the King watches himself making a speech in 1970, aged 21, talking about the environment, at a time when he said people thought that his views were "bonkers".
Elsewhere in the film, the King describes himself as a "bit of a hippie".
He is seen in his Highgrove residence feeding chickens and collecting eggs, in a shed called Cluckingham Palace.
The King reveals his love of a crispy baked potato and there is also archive footage of the monarch describing how he enjoys talking to plants.
In 1986, King Charles said: "I just come and talk to the plants, really - very important to talk to them, they respond."

There are also glimpses of Prince William and Prince Harry when they were younger, along with childhood images of King Charles.
However, the film mainly focuses on his lifelong commitment to raising awareness about - and helping - the environment.
The King explained: "People don't seem to understand it's not just climate that's the problem, it's also biodiversity loss, so we're actually destroying our means of survival, all the time.
"To put that back together again is possible, but we should have been doing it long ago. We've got to do it as fast as we can now," he added.
"It all boils down to the fact that we are actually nature ourselves, we are a part of it, not apart from it, which is really how things are being presented for so long."
