A CAPTIVATING AND INSTRUCTIVE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT ACTIVISM AND CONSERVATION 

Bella and Vipulan belie­ve in a dif­fe­rent way of living tog­e­ther, one in which peo­p­le no lon­ger exploit natu­re. On a jour­ney around the world, the two 16-year-olds search for solu­ti­ons to avert the approa­ching cata­stro­phe. Accompanied by film­ma­ker Cyril Dion, the youngs­ters’ inter­view rese­ar­chers, far­mers and poli­ti­ci­ans about the future of huma­ni­ty. Dion cap­tures their thoughts in a sen­si­ti­ve way and at the same time impres­ses us with natu­re shots, the beau­ty of the earth as well as images of pol­lu­ted seas and dying ani­mals. The film impres­si­ve­ly shows that for the love of all living things, it is fun­da­men­tal to stop the extinc­tion of spe­ci­es. (VW)
