CHALLENGING PERCEPTIONS [7of 8]: Symbiotic Earth

Symbiotic Earth explores the life and ideas of Lynn Margulis, a brilliant, radical scientist, whose unconventional ideas challenged the male-dominated scientific community and are today changing how we look at our selves, evolution, and the environment.

...

Filmmaker John Feldman traveled globally to meet Margulis’ cutting-edge colleagues and continually asked: What happens when the truth changes? Symbiotic Earth examines the worldview that has led to climate change and extreme capitalism and offers a new approach to understanding life that encourages a sustainable and symbiotic lifestyle.

...
