Amol Rajan Interviews Greta Thunberg
Amol Rajan Interviews Greta Thunberg
Amol Rajan talks to 19-year old Greta Thunberg, the climate activist who has become the unlikely voice of a global youth. Thunberg isn't a politician or a scientist, nor is she the first to campaign against climate change. However, since overcoming severe childhood depression to focus the world's attention on the plight of the planet, the Swedish student has become symbol for a generation which - as she puts it - is not being listened to by older people who won't suffer the consequences. In a challenging and wide-ranging conversation, Rajan discusses with Thunberg her latest book and interrogates some of the solutions it posits to tackle climate change. They explore green policy, climate justice, greenwashing and the role of both politics and protest in effecting change. Thunberg also shares the personal cost she has paid in being a global game-changer and offers a rare insight into the real Greta Thunberg.

ThuleTuvalu
ThuleTuvalu
Thule, Greenland, also called Qaanaaqis, one of the northernmost towns in the world. As the climate warms and the ice caps begin to melt, the gentle balance of life for the people of this community is in jeopardy. On the other side of the globe, the melting ice caps are raising sea levels around the Polynesian island nation of Tuvalu, threatening to wipe the island right off the map. Though a world apart, these two communities are intricately connected as environmental balance begins to tip and traditional ways of life are threatened. 'ThuleTuvalu' is a stunning documentary addressing the high price of a hundred years of development and how two very different communities are now bound together in facing an uncertain future.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Seriously, folks - I think that this documentary should be required viewing for any aliens ("green-minded" aliens, that is) who might be planning to invade Earth with the sole purpose of wiping out the entire human race.... 'Cause, if you ask me, I'm sure that after watching this documentary those aliens would be quite convinced that by annihilating the whole lot of us they'd be doing this planet a humongous favour. Indeed.And, with all of that in mind - This documentary (about the survival of the planet Earth, sans humans) certainly did lay it on extra-Extra-EXTRA thick when it came to telling us just how much man (and everything he's done) has totally fukked this planet beyond anything imaginable (outside that, of course, of a real-life, Sci-Fi/Horror show).Unfortunately, what the producers of "Aftermath" forgot to do was to offer us "disillusioned ones" some real hope that man just may turn his destructive ways around and finally get himself in tune with good, old Mother Nature (who has sure taken one helluva beating) and, thus, live happily ever after(math).Anyway - Regardless of all of the impending gloom and doom that seemed to prevail in "Aftermath", I still thought that it was well-worth a view (even though it was an extremely sobering view, at that).

If you wanna know what the lousiest documentary can be like, watch this movie. I watched it with a friend, we actually had great fun watching it. i laughed myself to tears i tell you!Gimme three hours of wikipedia and i'll put together a better show. what i can't conceive is how national geographic actually funded this movie. i have lost all respect for them. completely unexpected epic fail.I just can't... words just aren't enough. you need to see it with your own eyes and judge it with your own brains. this is my first IMDb review ever, as some one else already stated in this thread. i really want to encourage people to watch this epic fail. i'll just leave the final quote of the movie. the conclusion. it was something like. the earth can survive without us but we can't survive without the earth...and it took an hour of nonsense to reach to this very obvious verdict. unbelievable!!!

There is no doubt, from the beginning of this "documentary" that there is a definite bias here. The film claims to be about man's impact on the world but it is really just a film about how man has damaged it, and despite our constant chaos, the Earth will thrive if it weren't for us. This was obviously written by a Green Freak and me, being a man who refuses to buy into the corporate and political lie that is the Green Movement, finds this film condescending, ugly, and unremarkable. It has hard to show an impact when the film continues to show recycled stock footage of the same forests and fields over and over. They overgrown landmarks of man look like late 90s video game graphics and the overall look of the film is just ugly. It tries to persuade its viewers into thinking it's a smart hypothetical by showing the chaos that will ensue immediately after man disappears. However, this is quickly drowned out by the narrator's condescending tone and downbeat morality. I hated this doc. It is certainly no Planet Earth.

One of the worst people bashing inaccurate and fictional so-called documentaries I have ever seen. I sure hope people don't believe the garbage they spew out of this one. I will give it that the CG in it was pretty cool, in that it was similar to "I am Legend" in the effects on NYC and was equal in educational value.It would of been nice to see effects on more of the world than its narrow focus on North America and Europe. I do not recommend this to anyone, if you are looking to learn something, look elsewhere.
