Beautifully shot and edited, Animate Earth is an eloquent appraisal of holistic science as a fundamental way of redefining our worldview and relationship with the planet. To understand Gaia we must let go of the mechanistic, compartment­alising conditioning imposed on us since childhood by our society . . . “A Gaian approach opens new doors of perception, it gives us a deeply inspiring vision of the interdependence of all things within the natural world,” says Stephan Harding. Shot on location in the UK, Norway and North America, the film features stunning photography of human and natural environments and inspiring interviews with leading thinkers in the field of ecological awareness, including Dr Fritjof Capra, Dr Vandana Shiva, Bill McKibben, Craig Holdrege and Dr Brian Swimme. The film offers a new and much-needed scientific vision for creating positive change. It is dedicated to the memory of Dr Brian Goodwin, 1931-2009.
