Animal (2021)
Bella and Vipulan, both 16, are of a generation that believes its future is in danger. Due to climate change and a 6th mass extinction, the world may be uninhabitable in 50 years. Even as they sound the alarm, nothing happens. So they decide to tackle the heart of the problem, which is man's relationship with all life. In the course of their journey, they realise how deeply intertwined humans are with all living species. By protecting them, we save ourselves. Humans thought they could cut themselves off from nature, but they are part of it. After all, man is also an Animal.
