A Day On Earth

A global participatory film that captures the beauty, resilience, and diversity of communities across the world on a single day.

“A Day on Earth”, a collaborative film project, will be shot by Indigenous, Afro-descendent, and local community creators around the world on Earth Day, April 22, 2025.

The film will comprise a series of short personal sequences that capture the diverse voices and values of people living in and protecting biodiverse ecosystems in distant forests, territories, and forgotten places across the planet.

The documentary will premiere at a global online event in partnership with Earth Alliance on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, August 9, 2025, highlighting the critical role of underrepresented communities in environmental conservation.

Why Now?

In a time of negative news cycles and devisive national politics there is an urgent need to present alternative solutions, a unifying message of hope.

Despite unprecedented environmental and social challenges, the stories of Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and Local Communities are inspiring, and often go unheard. They offer a classic heroes journey of triumph through adversity. These communities are on the frontlines of protecting ecosystems, preserving biodiversity, and fostering resilience in the face of climate change.

A Day on Earth invites local storytellers to capture personal everyday action that honor and protect our planet, for them everyday is Earth Day.

From seed harvesting and natural healing practices to community-led conservation efforts, the film will be a rare glimpse into lives lived close to nature.

This participatory documentary and impact campaign will bring visibility to diverse local climate solutions, inspiring global audiences and decision-makers to recognize the urgent need for action and support. With high -impact launch events online, at New York Climate week and in Belem, Brazil at the UNFCCC COP 30, a key Amazonian climate conference, this impact campaign will grab the attention of policy makers, donors and the climate community.
