A Personal View of the Environment
Do we not, most of us, feel a profound, almost unconscious unease at the course we have been taking: almost as if we were living on borrowed time?
Prince Charles's film is an impassioned scrutiny of the great environmental challenges that confront us. It takes him from northern Scotland to the Indonesian rainforest, from the Kennedy Space Center to a medieval monastery outside Rome, from Hong Kong to a country house in Norfolk.
He undertakes the journey not so much to describe the environmental crisis as to examine its causes and attempt an assessment of what must be done if we are to avoid catastrophe. How can we reassert the sense of balance between man and the natural world that was once instinctive to us?
It is a challenge, he says, that we can all face together. Director James Hawes
Producer Christopher Martin
