Breaking Boundaries. A New Netflix Film Will Shock You.

Netflix announced today the launch and synopsis of Breaking Boundaries, a documentary film explaining the science behind the catastrophic impact humans have on Earth since the beginning of civilization.

It's narrated by the iconic British broadcaster, Sir David Attenborough.

Viewers will be taken on a virtual trip where they'll be able to inform themselves on the issues of the ecological crisis by the world-renowned scientist, Professor Johan Rockström. The documentary will also delve into the solutions.

Breaking Boundaries was produced by Silverback Films,  and is seeking to increase awareness for environmental issues across the globe. It was directed and produced by Jon Clay. Executive producers are Alastair Fothergill, Keith Scholey, Colin Butfield, Jochen Zeitz, and Kate Garwood.

The title reflects on how humans have strain and scorched the Planet beyond the boundaries which have kept it stable for more than 10,000 years.

Despite the shocking science it uncovers, the creators claim the key message it's one of positivity and as explained by Prof. Rockström suggests, humanity still has time to act.

Rockstrom says that what we do in the next decade will be decisive for humanity's future on Earth and appears to be aligned with the known Agenda 2030 as he explains in the trailer.

“As a species, humanity is careening close to the edge. Our impact on nature is bringing us dangerously close to planetary boundaries…It is tempting to think this is another climate story. But it is much bigger. It is about Earth's life support system – the biosphere, a thin veil clinging to the surface of Earth where life thrives…My work is about understanding the interactions between Earth's climate, ecosystems, and life, the ocean and ice sheets, rivers, lakes and soils, forests and farms, the carbon cycle. And, people – the economy, governments, consumers…As a speciesas a global civilization, we are now in the driver's seat. We are the main force for change in the biosphere.”

He added: “With major global decisions on biodiversity and taking place this year, there has never been a more important time to communicate the science of what is happening to our planet.”

Human pressures on Earth are now reaching ‘irreversible tipping points, he says.
