To the Ends of the Earth

To the Ends of the Earth

To the Ends of the Earth is a documentary that chronicles the rise of extreme energy extraction practices in North America with special attention to its ramifications on communities at its frontiers—from Inuit villages in Northern Canada to river ecosystems in Utah. Bringing the abstract concept of “energy extraction” into the homes of those who are directly, negatively impacted by it, To the Ends of the Earth is an evocative call to action that necessitates the rethinking of societal practices. With questions of shifting land use being at the forefront of current political conversations, this film pushes viewers to rethink the complexities that exist between economic growth, land use, and environmental justice; leaving one with the overarching question: how much longer can we do this?
