Wild Port of Europe – Nature on the Edge
Nature & Wildlife 52' 2024 HD
Wild Port of Europe – Nature on the Edge is an artistic and reflective nature documentary that tells the story of two conflicting worlds sharing the same space. On one hand, the wild and untamed natural world, seriously threatened by human expansion. Struggling, in all its beauty. On the other hand, our dominant modern world: man-made, fully industrialized. Driven by a relentless need for space, energy, minerals and commodities.
Wild Port of Europe is about the ultimate contrast, set in the biggest port in Europe – the Port of Rotterdam. A gigantic industrialized area covering more than 12,500 ha of land and waterways, stretching more than 40 km inland from the North Sea.
Never before in nature film history has wildlife been filmed so close and intimate in such an overwhelming and alienated habitat! And while the film shows us that survival in such a highly industrialized environment is a life on the edge for wildlife, it also mirrors nature’s challenges back to the human world, for we share a mutual uncertain future due to man-made climate change.
