Planet C: The Weight of the World

Description

Science should be factual: facts instead of feelings. But a new generation of scientists is experiencing how their research is thrown off course by climate change. Instead of discovering the wonders of nature, Maria, a glaciologist, Sebastian, a professor of physical chemistry, and Nana, a molecular biologist, are chroniclers of a sinking world. But no one listens to them. What to do? Instead of retreating frustrated into the ivory tower of their research, Maria, Sebastian, and Nana leave the lab and become activists, because they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders.
"The Weight of the World" is more than a climate documentary – it is a deeply human portrait of three scientists who realize that their research alone is no longer enough. In times of increasing climate catastrophes, political paralysis, and societal division, the film offers an emotional access to one of the central questions of our time: What does it mean to take responsibility? "Perhaps even more exciting than the very own, calm storytelling in the film itself are the reactions it triggers." - FAZ "Curious, unbiased, with emotional depth." - KINO-ZEIT
