Director

  • Paul Hunton

A documentary exploring climate change in Alaska, the state hardest hit by global warming to date, and how what is happening there will soon affect us all.

Alaska has been the source of myth and legend in the imagination of Americans for centuries, and what was once the last frontier of American expansion, has become the first frontier in climate change. Between Earth and Sky examines climate change through the lens of impacts to native Alaskans, receding glaciers, and arctic soil.

Mixing interviews with some of the world’s leading scientists in climate change and arctic soils with the day-to-day struggle of native Alaskans living on the front lines of global warming, Between Earth and Sky shows the calamity of climate change that has started in Alaska but will soon engulf the globe.
