The film is graceful visually and beautifully harrowing; its worry for a planet and hope for humanity is reasoned and well-explained.

Shock, awe and alarm as Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper aim a poetic lens at a rapidly changing world.

This richly episodic doc, which comes in at just under 90 minutes, is a celebration of what we still have and of people who are fighting to keep it.

The approach comes as a joyful reminder that science, philosophy and poetry need not be mutually exclusive.
