Our planet is experiencing a series of overall global changes that make it seem as though we may be exhausting its capacity to sustain life. Beyond climate change, there is also environmental degradation, the extinction of species, the human population explosion, industry expansion... This film explains just how quickly the earth is changing, through interviews with activists, environmentalists, writers and scientists, including Jared Diamond and George Morbiot. As a result of globalisation, for the first time in history, what we do at home can impact on the ecosystem on the other side of the world, and a change of mentality is necessary if a solution is to be found.
