Can the world be saved when so much has already been lost? Narrated by Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, this fascinating, inspiring, and timely documentary follows the scientific experts on the frontlines of conservation as they seek to answer this question.
The earth is rapidly approaching a sixth mass extinction event, with a quarter of all species under threat. But, there is still hope. Armed with a radical new vision known as ‘rewilding’, follow the world’s top environmental leaders on a spectacular journey across six continents as they work to rebuild ecosystems, restore biodiversity, and transform lives.
From the cloud forests of Rwanda to the California coast, this bold new approach to wildlife conservation is not without its challenges. However, it may just be the solution to finding a sustainable balance between our delicate natural world and the demands of a growing human population.
Directed and produced by Matthew Brady, Escape from Extinction: Rewilding is the sequel to 2021 hit documentary Escape from Extinction and carries on the series’ vital message of preserving the natural world and saving species on the brink of extinction. Rewilding features contributions from leading global conservation experts including Dr John Paul Rodriguez, chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Species Survival Commission and Dr Onnie Byers, chair of the Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, and Robin Ganzert, CEO of the American Humane Society.
Escape from Extinction: Rewilding has played film festivals across the world and won numerous awards including Best Wildlife and Nature Documentary at DOC LA and Best Documentary Feature at the New York Independent Cinema Awards.
The film will be released in UK cinemas from 22 April in support of World Earth Day, an event now in its 55th year of running, which has been mobilising over one billion people annually to promote the safeguarding of our planet and create a sustainable future.
