In the mid-1980s, Carl Sagan warned of global warming's risks. Forty years later, his speeches guide this film. Using Sagan's original voiceover, automatons, driven by an old recorder's magnetic tape, depict wild animals. The campaign, initiated by United Nations Global Compact, aimed to prompt reflection on an urgent issue. With over 20,000 members across 64 countries, UN Global Compact strives for a sustainable planet. Promoted online by UN Global Compact, the film featured at events, notably during the United Nations General Assembly and COP28, attended by 500+ global executives.
