Planet of the Humans (2019)

Embark on an unflinching journey with Planet of the Humans (2019), a documentary that holds up a mirror to humanity's role in the accelerating climate crisis. This Earth Day, brace yourself for a narrative that challenges the status quo, revealing an inconvenient truth: we are losing our war against climate change, misguided by leaders who have surrendered the green movement to the siren call of corporate America and wealthy stakeholders. This film serves as a poignant wake-up call, unearthing a reality we're too apprehensive to acknowledge. As we stand on the precipice of a human-induced extinction event, our environmental efforts are reduced to technological patchworks and superficial solutions. Our survival, however, hinges on confronting our unchecked growth and rampant consumption. Why isn't this the crux of the matter? The answer lies in the fear of disrupting profits and disturbing business. Have we, the environmentalists, been ensnared by deceptive "green" mirages, propelled by the dread of a looming end? Have we staked our survival on biomass, wind turbines, and electric cars, despite the stark warning that no legion of batteries will be our salvation? Directed by Jeff Gibbs, a lifelong environmentalist and the co-producer of Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) and Bowling for Columbine (2002), this riveting documentary is a direct confrontation with our revered beliefs. It is sure to ignite anger, stir debate, and hopefully, inspire a reimagined approach to our survival before the hourglass empties. This isn't just a must-see movie, it's a clarion call for change - a reminder that it's high time we view our existence and impact on this planet in a new light.
