Documentaries from around the world showcase the struggles we will have going forward in this world but also how we can band together to build a brighter future.
Nalini Nadkarni is a world-renowned ecologist who climbs trees in the rainforest canopy to study “what grows back” after an ecological disturbance. In 2015, when her rope snapped on a research climb, she fell fifty feet from a tree and nearly died. After making a miraculous recovery, Nalini begins to explore a new research subject - herself.
BETWEEN EARTH & SKY follows Nalini as she prepares for another research climb in Monteverde, Costa Rica, before considering retirement from the field. In the process, she unearths the roots of other disturbances she faced throughout her life, as the daughter of mixed Indian-Jewish immigrant parents who prized high achievement and contribution above all else.
BETWEEN EARTH & SKY will be screened as a part of the SHORTS: IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE package.
