The Amazon rainforest burns. Australia has lost more mammal species than any other continent. Rainwater contains “forever chemicals”. Women in global factories work under the threat of modern slavery. Around the world, people are displaced by war, injustice, famine and political unrest. It’s easy to imagine that the future faced by the next generation is as frightening as it is uncertain.
A new documentary supported by Monash University, The Endangered Generation? gathers experts in their fields – including academics, community leaders, artists and activists – to tackle the issue together. Narrated by Oscar winner Laura Dern, it captures the many human contributions to both the Earth’s decline and its rehabilitation.
