THE LIVING ICE OF GREENLAND

THE LIVING ICE OF GREENLAND is a feature-length documentary film about the startling discovery of the dark microbial forest melting the Greenland Ice Sheet far faster than any models predict, and the Arctic scientists and indigenous leaders witnessing it. The Greenland Ice Sheet is melting, threatening to raise sea levels and inundating coastal communities worldwide. The film is framed by the remote and perilous research high on the Greenland Ice Sheet, where rivers of melt water carve deep cracks in the ice and plunge into mile-deep holes dropping to the floor of the ice sheet. All the while the film raises the question of the value of science to our society.
