2What people say
Time travel is real; nature is an archive. The future is made in the past, and the present is every molecule that came before and will be.Such a spectacular, spiritual, and staggering achievement. Poetry and folklore take precedence over data in this climate change film. It is deeply thoughtful, imaginative and ancient, but with a gentle urgency, a mourning of the present as it’s happening, captured in the way only cinema can. At its core, it is one of the purest expressions of love for family, culture, and land, and isn’t that what we risk to lose as the earth warms?
deeply depressing to see nature documentaries trend away from data-driven calls to action and towards the somber archiving of what is already inevitably lost
