Executive Round Up: Which Nature Documentary or Series Made the Largest Impact on You?
In honor of Earth Month, we asked executives in our industry which nature documentary or series made the largest impact on them, and why. Here’s what they had to say.
Jorge Franzini
VP, Content
Curiosity
“Films shouldn’t scare us into thinking there’s nothing we can do to solve a problem. They should inspire and remind us of our interconnectedness with the natural world. For that reason, the series ‘Evolve’ has had a significant impact on me. Evolve asks whether nature has already shown us how to solve the most pressing crises facing our planet. Patrick Aryee travels the world exploring how we can use biomimicry to tackle challenges from vaccine insecurity to freshwater scarcity and pollution. Who knew that proteins in squid tentacles could help eliminate plastics?!”
Dan Russell
CEO
EarthxTV
“I’m inspired by the next generation of conservationists who have taken up the mantle to protect our planet, and our series ‘Wild Wonders with Brooke Carter’ embodies this. Brooke is an 11-year-old wildlife conservationist who has already dedicated her life to improving our planet. She travels around the world working with endangered animals to help with rehabilitation, relocation, and rescue. Every episode shows her curiosity and passion for protecting animals and the environment. EarthxTV exists to inspire others.”
