One of the films I got to see at HotDocs this year was Planetary, a meditation on climate change and, well, on meditation itself. The 85 minute docu-essay combines stunning cinematography with an enchanting score and interviews with over two dozen philosophers, scientists, astronauts, Zen priests, Tibetan lamas, and tribal elders. Director Guy Reid and his collaborators make a compelling case that our global ecological crisis cannot be solved without more people recognizing that we are all a part of the earth and not just on it.
