The Edge of Nature
— For Home Use Only —
Scientists have come to call the first 6-8 months of the COVID pandemic “The Anthropause.” During this time, industrial fossil fuel pollution plummeted and for the very first time in history, world-wide emissions were reduced enough to halt climate change. In THE EDGE OF NATURE, Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning director Josh Fox (Gasland, Awake, A Dream from Standing Rock, How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change) isolates himself in a one-room cabin in the woods as he struggles with the physical and neurological effects of Long COVID and ruminates on man's relationship with nature.
What is humankind's role in nature? Is there such a thing as Nature? What does the word mean? The pandemic called into question everything that our civilization has done to dominate the natural world, from colonialism to the introduction of invasive species. During his nine-month seclusion in his beloved Pennsylvania forest, Josh confronts a legacy of genocide and intergenerational trauma that scars the surrounding landscape and grapples with his own history as the son and grandson of Jewish holocaust survivors.
