Planet of the Humans
2019 · Movie · 100 min · ★ 6.4 · 61% critics
This documentary challenges the idea that renewable energy and other feel-good “green” solutions are automatically saving the planet. It argues that many popular alternatives still rely on polluting power sources and that corporate interests and big money have shaped the environmental movement in ways that deserve tougher scrutiny.
