My Planet Now

My Planet Now is a cinematic short film and feature documentary for worldwide release that seek to break new ground and provide a genuine moment of global coming together on the climate crisis.

The films will tell the global story of the climate crisis in a uniquely human way by inviting ordinary citizens from around the world to film and share their personal stories of their relationship to the planet and experience of climate change.

By making these people our co-directors and enabling viewers to experience the world through them, they will offer a sense of connection to the crisis that is unfiltered, intimate and immediate – strikingly different from typical climate crisis documentaries. The films will marry stories from the frontlines with stories that offer hope and offer a constructive way forward.

Critically, they will also bring attention, insight and understanding to the relationship between health and climate, in alignment with Wellcome’s strategic objectives.

The feature documentary’s large-scale, multi-pronged impact campaign will target global and national decision-makers, key stakeholders and the public (including specific target communities).

A central theme will be the relationship between climate and health, and we have enjoyed positive initial discussions with WHO about this prospect.
