Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie
Description
"For the first time since life appeared on earth, one species- us-
is single-handedly altering the physical, chemical and biological nature of
earth. We have become a force of nature" - David Suzuki
Award-winning director Sturla Gunnarsson presents a biography of ideas
featuring iconic Canadian scientist, educator, broadcaster and activist David
Suzuki. At 73 years of age Suzuki delivered what he describes as “a last
lecture – a distillation of my life and thoughts, my legacy, what I want to
say before I die.”
In Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie
Gunnarsson interweaves this lecture with scenes from Suzuki’s life and
lifetime – the major social, scientific, cultural and political events of the
past 70 years.
Suzuki articulates a core, urgent message: We have exhausted the limits
of the biosphere and it is imperative that we rethink our relationship with
the natural world. He looks unflinchingly at the strains on the interconnected
web of life and offers up a blueprint for sustainability and survival.
This title is available to the educational market only (schools,
