synopsis

This film has a 500 views limit.
At the turn of 2017 and 2018, Greenpeace launched a campaign to establish a natural reserve encompassing 1.8 million square kilometres of the Weddell Sea near the coast of Antarctica. It is one of the coldest bodies of water on Earth, boasting one of the best preserved biotope. Javier and Carlos Bardem, two ambassadors of the initiative, take us with them to watch the efforts of ecologists and scientists to protect this unique natural wealth and to explore exciting happenings in the field of activist environmental policy in the age of information and the post-factual where new tools need to be employed to raise awareness and reach mass support.
