Witness the extraordinary life of Dr. Lonnie Thompson, an explorer who went where no scientist had gone before and transformed our idea of what is possible.

Impact in Action

Learn about the impact of this film on communities.

"Canary" is more than just a documentary; it’s a clarion call to action in the face of climate change, showcasing the heroic journey of Dr. Lonnie Thompson as he unearths the secrets of our planet's past. By exploring glaciers on the world's tallest peaks, Dr. Thompson has not only transformed our understanding of Earth's history but has also spotlighted the urgent need for policy changes to combat climate change.

As the film illustrates, glaciers are retreating at an alarming rate, with some studies indicating that up to 90% of the world’s glaciers could vanish by 2100 if current trends continue. Dr. Thompson’s work serves as a pivotal reminder that we are on the frontlines of a global crisis, and the loss of these icy archives means losing invaluable data that could inform future climate policies.

"Canary" has the potential to galvanize communities and policymakers alike, encouraging a collaborative approach to environmental preservation. By focusing on actionable insights and fostering a deeper understanding of climate impacts, this film aims to inspire viewers to advocate for sustainable practices and support initiatives that protect our planet. It’s not just a film; it's a movement for change, urging us all to take a stand before it’s too late.
