The health of our planet is not so different from the health of the human body—it greatly depends on our personal habits and our willingness to confront problems. Akin to a doctor’s cautionary findings, this five-part series reveals many of the dangers threatening the natural world as well as specific socioeconomic factors entwined with them. Footage that is both luminous and unflinching shows the human realities of environmental devastation, species extinction, famine, starvation, and political instability in Africa, Asia, and South America. 5-part series, 47-53 minutes each.
