Documentaries are getting more and more popular in this day and age. People want to know what’s going on in the world. Documentaries often shed new light on topics and the viewer is able to learn something from the content they consume, and often they are left with something to think about and especially with environmental documentaries— a call to action. There’s a reason these films are in demand. People are looking for answers. Films are a great medium to package information that needs to be seen and heard by the general public.

Too often, new research and compelling stories remain behind closed doors or are only read by scientists in the same field. Movies, especially when they’re made compelling, visually appealing, and information is presented well, can move people, help them understand something better, and even inspire them to make a change.
