Description:
Academy
Award Winner, Jeff Bridges presents this beautifully photographed
tour de force of original thinking on who we are and the
environmental challenges we face. Bridges, alongside prominent
scientists and authors, weaves evolution, emergence, entropy, dark
ecology, and what some are calling the end of nature, into a story
that helps us understand our place among the species of Earth’s
household. The film upends our way of thinking and provides original
insights into our subconscious motivations, the unintended
consequences, what to do about our fossil slaves, and how our
fundamental animal nature influences our future as humankind.
