Animal: dir Cyril Dion (2021)

16-year-old Bella and Vipulan are part of a generation that knows its very future is at risk – between climate change and the mass extinction of wildlife, their world could well be inhabitable 50 years from now. At the instigation of director Cyril Dion, who already nailed his colours to the mast with his 2015 investigative documentary  Tomorrow, and the eminent primatologist Jane Goodall, the two teenagers embark in an extraordinary quest: to travel around the world and meet with scientists and activists to find another way of living alongside other species, more as roommates than predators. The two protagonists are simultaneously very ordinary and very engaging; Dion has produced a powerful argument for coexistence rather than competition, and his skill is to let us draw our own conclusions.
