Top 5: Recent Eco-documentary movies

International Earth Day 2021 will take place from April 20th-22nd. There will be educational resources and climate webinars where students can learn about the environment and conservation and celebrate Earth Week 2021 with resources and educational opportunities. The theme for Earth Day 2021 is Restore the Earth. Topics that will be included:

  • Climate and environmental literacy
  • Climate restoration technologies 
  • Reforestation efforts
  • Regenerative agriculture 
  • Equity and environmental justice 
  • Citizen science 
  • Local Cleanups

Visit Earthday.org on April 20 for the start of the event, and follow their social platforms to join the discussion. As a simple Act of Green in the spirit of this year’s events, I have decided to revisit a post from a few years back on Top 5 Eco-documentaries, especially as there a few new ones out there now.

1 Seaspiracy

The doc everyone is talking about!

2 i am greta

3 THE GAME CHANGERS

4 DOMINION

5 DARK WATERS

Ok, I know that this is a movie rather than a doc but arguably the best docu-drama on environmental themes for many years and is an absolute must-see so makes it to my recent Top 5.

Hope you enjoyed this little list, and you’re encouraged to make your own Top 5 list. Meanwhile: Support Earth Day 2021 by getting involved with the Youth Climate summit on April 20th, the Teach for the Planet summit on April 21st and/or Restore Our Earth live digital event on April 22nd.
