Nature documentaries have come to function, in recent years, as renderings of an ever-dwindling natural world. Some years ago, Anthropocene: The Human Epoch premiered at the Berlin Film Festival to rave reviews, capturing different regions profoundly affected by the present climate catastrophe, perpetrated by human neglect. David Attenborough has had a slew of his own recent movies centering on the crisis, not least his incandescent swan song A Life On Our Planet.
Now, a new trailer has just been released for The Last Glaciers, billed as a "global IMAX adventure" that investigates the cause and effect of climate change.
Directed by journalist Craig Leeson (Netflix's A Plastic Ocean), the film explores the human cause of the climate crisis. "By exploring the glaciers, I hope to inspire the next generation to be the voice of change," Leeson narrates in the trailer, which boasts a montage of stunning landscape cinematography befitting the grand spectacle of an IMAX experience. Leeson finishes with a riling call to action: "There's still time to save our world," he asserts.
