A must-watch for anyone wanting to learn more about environmental conservation and the true cost of climate change on our world and the ecosystems within it. Beautifully shot, thoughtfully executed, and with an engaging narration, this film truly shows the immense beauty of our Earth and the consequences of continuing to ignore its endangerment. A cinematic, insightful film that simultaneously allows reflection and forward-thinking, it will leave you with a deep compulsion to act, a greater appreciation for our world's beauty, and a renewed commitment to safeguarding our fragile ecosystems.
