National Geographic photographer James Balog was once a skeptic about climate change. But then he spent three years creating time-lapse photographic records of what is happening to the ice that covers Greenland and the Arctic Ocean.
This visually stunning documentary presents that record to the public. It also shows us the difficulties Balog and his support team had to overcome to capture it. These were not only technical difficulties due to effects of the extreme cold on equipment. I'm here to tell you the man took some risks.
James Balog is now convinced that climate change is real. After you've watched this must-see video, it's highly probable that you will be convinced as well.
My Rating:
9 out of 10
Capsule review: The cinematography is absolutely top-notch. My only quibble is that this is not a slick production; some of the sequences waiting for a dramatic event go on a bit too long.1 Not slick, but very honest and effective at getting its message across. See it.
