The climate change and environmental crises are now closely connected with our daily lives.
We've collected a smell selection of our favourite documentaries, charting the history and future
of the challenges we face.
KISS THE GROUND
The documentary adopts a light voice when exploring the power of
the world's soils to draw in carbon from the air. The film begins by
examining how farming and pesticides have led to soil loss, tracking the
damage done to ecology, health and climate. The solution is found through
regenerative farming-a field receiving more and more attention.
ICE ON FIRE
Dramatically titled, Leonardo DiCaprio's 2019 documentary focuses
on the melting polar ice caps of the Arctic. The documentary explores the
planetary impact of melting ice, but intelligently includes solutions. DiCaprio explores renewable energy technologies and sustainable economies to put forward a vision for a cleaner future.
CHASING CORAL
It can be difficult to really understand what climate breakdown looks
.In 2017,Chasing Coral brought the very real impacts of climate change into sharp focus. The insight into the world's corals suffering from ocean acidification and temperature rise is impressive.
REBUILDING PARADISE
Wildfires once a natural regulator of ecosystems, now an increasing phenomenon thrown out of rhythm by climate change-are so frequent that many hardly consider the consequence. While it's one thing to deal with the financial loss and restoration, it's something quite different to repair the broken spirit of a community. In Rebuilding Paradise, we follow the journey of the citizens of Paradise, California, as they attempt to restart their lives from the ashes of the destructive 2018 wildfires.
