Jeff Bridges, alongside scientists, looks under the “hood of humanity”, exploring ourselves, and our past, providing the keys to a better future.

Actor Jeff Bridges presents this beautifully photographed tour de force of original thinking on who we are and the environmental challenges we face. Bridges, alongside prominent scientists and authors, weaves evolution, emergence, entropy, dark ecology, and what some are calling the end of nature, into a story that helps us understand our place among the species of Earth’s household.
