Shorts: Science & Scientists

What does it mean to study a world in crisis? From dirt digging to deep diving, follow the collective of environmentalists and scientists alike in their discovery of the world at large, the ecosystems within it, and smallest of discoveries that can make the largest of impacts. At the edge of uncertainty in a world of accelerating change, these individuals test resilience, navigating the environmental and ethical challenges of the modern world. Together, these films capture what can become, when observation becomes action, and when the pursuit of change carries real consequences for both people and the planet.
