Overview
The film documents astronauts’ life-changing stories of seeing the Earth from the outside – a perspective-altering experience often described as the Overview Effect. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
“Overview” features interviews with five astronauts who have experienced this phenomenon, alongside insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for society, and our relationship to the environment.
