Eleven internationally recognised filmmakers have joined forces to raise awareness on the most pressing environmental issues and the effects of climate change, recognised as some of the biggest challenges of our times, by contributing to a unique film composed by eleven short-movies. These aim to highlight the urgent need to reduce environmental damage and to preserve our natural resources, in respect for our life on this Planet.
