We made this short film with Jane Goodall, Peter Daszak, David Quammen and others throughout the pandemic of Covid-19. The film argues that policies are not enough. We need a paradigm shift in how we view nature and the rest of life on this planet.
The film was made during lockdown conditions, a fact made clear in the style of the film. Our speakers appear on screens via zoom, which we filmed from inside our homes. Each speaker offers a different perspective on the origins of the pandemic in the ways we see and value nature. If humans can’t escape their connection to the natural world, it’s time for a better one. The health of us and the planet depends on it.
The film is available for download and sharing on any platform in any country for free under a creative commons license C (BY-NC-ND) 4.0
It was made with the assistance of EcoHealth Alliance, the Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services, and the Jane Goodall Institute.
