Breaking Ground

2024·78 min

Synopsis

Inside the labs and workshops where the next generation of scientists are racing to solve the climate crisis — from carbon capture engineers in Iceland to lab-grown meat pioneers in Singapore. A hopeful, urgent look at the people refusing to give up.

Director's Statement

I was tired of doom. I wanted to find the people building something in the dark, the ones whose names won't be in the history books but whose work might save us. This film is an act of defiance against despair.
