Building on his ground-breaking SYMBIOTIC EARTH John Feldman's new film, REGENERATING LIFE, takes an ecological approach to unraveling the climate crisis. It offers a deeper look at the underlying causes of global warming, going beyond carbon emissions from the burning of fossil fuels to humankind's relentless destruction of nature in all corners of Earth. Because ultimately it is nature—the vast biodiversity that exists on our planet—that regulates and balances Earth's climate.

Feldman explores how life regulates the climate through photosynthesis and the carbon cycle; the water cycle; the dung cycle; and a vast interconnected soil network of fungi, microorganisms, and plant roots. He dives into the economic and political systems that have encouraged this destruction of Earth through the relentless quest for wealth and dominion.

We can reverse this destructive process by regenerating life across the planet. Feldman visits people who are working on solutions. By working with nature, they are restoring forests, fields, wetlands, and oceans. They are regenerating soils to grow healthy food and build healthy communities, pointing the way to long term solutions to the climate crisis.

The film includes interviews with Cynthia Daley, Co-Director of the Center for Regenerative Agriculture & Resilient Systems, California State Univ. Chico; Gail Fuller, a third generation Kansas farmer and founder of the Fuller Field School; Wes Jackson, co-founder and president emeritus of The Land Institute; Walter Jehne, an Australian soil microbiologist and climate scientist and founder of Regenerate Earth, Ltd.; Vijay Kumar, Executive Vice Chairman of the Indian non-profit Rythu Sadhikara Samstha; Naima Penniman, Program Director at Soul Fire Farm; Gerald Pollack, a professor of bioengineering at the University of Washington; and many more.

REGENERATING LIFE is divided into 3 parts:

1. Water Cools the Planet
2. Life Sustains the Climate
3. Small Farms Feed the World
