Right now the project is in a developmental phase. It will challenge viewers to see the current state of affairs in our world for what they are, not for how we think they are. For example, there is a predispositioned picture in our brain when we think of global warming but, is a polar bear on a shrinking iceberg really what that looks like? Is that really the extent of human impact, or is it more sinister than that? How deep do the consequences of us living here really sink, and is it too late for us to redeem ourselves? If you asked if humans deserved a chance of redemption, I would say that redemption isn't the goal but our only option. It's time to become aware now more than ever.
interesting, to bring in an almost religious dimension — redemption.

and who are "us" — "we" — so many humans on the planet, in so many different circumstances.
huge questions, you're touching.
I want to hear more about people who are already feeling the brunt of the problems, that will be visiting us sooner than later...
the Guardian article (on science denial) pertains to your other interest in "message," messaging...
ReplyDeletethis too is relevant — and aligns with your "redemption" idea :
