Planet of the Humans

Planet of the Humans takes a critical look at the mainstream environmental movement and its leaders' decision to partner with billionaires, corporations, and wealthy family foundations. The film examines the implications of promoting renewable energy technology as the solution to climate change and questions whether machines made by our industrial civilization can save us from industrialization. The documentary features interviews with environmental sociologist Richard York, author Richard Heinberg, anthropologist Nina Jablonski, green tech investor Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and ecologist Steven Running. Planet of the Humans explores the limitations of solar and wind energy, the expansion of fossil fuel use, and the involvement of companies like Apple and Tesla in green technology production. The film also investigates biomass energy and its impact on the environment. Finally, Planet of the Humans asserts that infinite growth on a finite planet is suicide and implores the audience to take back the environmental movement from billionaires and capitalists.
