Call of Life: Facing the Mass Extinction

2011 FESTIVAL
60 min.
Filmmakers: Monte Thompson and Chera Van Burg.
All over the world species are becoming extinct at an astonishing rate, from 1000 to 10,000 times faster than normal. The loss of biodiversity has become so severe that scientists are calling it a mass extinction event. Call of Life: Facing the Mass Extinction is the first feature documentary to investigate the growing threat to Earth’s life support systems from this unprecedented loss of biodiversity. It tells the story of a crisis not only in nature, but also in human nature, a crisis more threatening than anything human beings have ever faced before.
