The Age of Man – Documentary about the Anthropocene (Golden Award at Deauville Green Awards 2016)

The Human activity and its impact on our planet has overcome the geological forces… thus opening a new era called Anthropocene also known as the Age of man. This new Era inevitably leads to an investigation about how past civilizations have tackled environmental and climate change issues they faced. Whether Mayas, Vikings, Japan… Taking a step aside and looking back resonates with our current challenges and may be inspirational as to what our developed world can do and on what scale to truly cope with this unprecedented Era.
