Hot Docs Film Festival: Planetary
Witness Earth like never before. Through telescopic lenses positioned in deep space that are trained on the peaks of the Himalayas, the African savannas, the hyper-paced streets of Tokyo and the vastness of the cosmos themselves, this visually astonishing portrait of our planet is designed to humble the viewer. In an effort to grasp not only the fragility and beauty of this world, but the near-incalculable breadth of our impact on it, Planetary intellectually challenges us to reconsider our relationship with our home. From the personal thoughts of NASA astronauts Ron Garan and Mae Jemison to those of renowned environmentalist Bill McKibben and the head of the Tibetan Buddhist Kagyu school, the 17th Karmapa, this powerful essay attests that in order to truly change our destructive path, we must see and accept that all life is inseparably interconnected. A simple idea perhaps, but one that may just be revolutionary enough to alter our current course and ensure our future.
