The Human Epoch: How Humanity is Reshaping the Earth

Human activity has altered the planet so profoundly that scientists propose a new geological era: the Anthropocene, or the human epoch. This documentary explores how sedentism, industrialized agriculture, and human-driven plant migration have transformed the land, leading to soil degradation and ecological consequences. It also delves into the atmosphere's vital role in sustaining life and how human emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels and industrial livestock farming accelerate climate change. Water, the cornerstone of life, is another resource profoundly impacted by human actions. From contamination to landscape transformation, humanity's intervention disrupts natural cycles. Even rain, enriched with CO2, becomes acid rain, threatening forests and seas. This film examines the interconnected systems of land, air, and water, highlighting the lasting impact of human activity on Earth's delicate balance.
