The film reveals the astonishing beauty and profound ecological importance of the Pantanal: the largest tropical wetland on Earth, spanning over 17 million hectares across Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. The wetland is home to several groups of Indigenous peoples as well as rare and endangered wildlife, including species found nowhere else. But the Pantanal has suffered more fire damage than any other ecosystem. Told through the journeys of two environmental defenders, and blending beautiful cinematography with insights from scientists, Indigenous leaders and activists, the film is a wake-up call and an invitation to stand alongside those working to protect one of the last truly wild places on the planet.

With unprecedented access to the nuclear industry in France, Russia, and the United States, Nuclear Now explores the possibility for the global community to overcome the challenges of climate change and energy poverty to reach a brighter future through the power of nuclear energy. Beneath our feet, Uranium atoms in the Earth’s crust hold incredibly concentrated energy. Science unlocked this energy in the mid-20th century, first for bombs and then to power submarines. The United States led the effort to generate electricity from this new source. Yet in the mid-20th century as societies began the transition to nuclear power and away from fossil fuels, a long-term PR campaign to scare the public began, funded in part by coal and oil interests.
It is a fictionalized documentary, filmed in different locations (San Julián; Estancia La Colmena; Morón, Province of Buenos Aires; Capital Federal and Islas Malvinas). The original idea of the project is to reflect the historical and paradoxical connection that unites continental Patagonia with the Islas Malvinas. It is a story that recreates several moments, both the arrival of Islas Malvinas settlers and the departure of Argentine pilots on combat missions during the 1982 war. The documentary is filmed in a cinematic style, but also incorporates the most rigorous documentary logic: interviews, narration, and careful historical research into the events.
