Good News From Planet Earth

We’ve contributed 5 short films for this series produced by Längengrad Filmproduktion for BR, MDR in co-production with ARTE.

Synopsis:
We‘ve had enough of watching only news about war, species extinction and climate crisis – we present “Good News from Planet Earth”. In our 5-part documentary series, we show the small and big successes of people, organizations and companies who are fighting to improve conditions for people and nature. Positive news giving courage –and often getting lost in the daily flood of bad news.

Whether it’s lightweight houses made of plastic waste that provide more safety for residents of earthquake zones or the first completely compostable jeans that help reduce trash piles or the rescue of the California sea otter that helps protect the climate – an international team has spent 2 years searching for stories like these in Europe, North and South America, Asia and Africa. They show that everyone can do something about the crises of our time even when policymakers hesitate or fail.
