Captured collaboratively across nine countries, the film tackles emergencies spanning deforestation, coastline erosion, and rising temperatures to invite audiences from across the world to reconnect with the planet and the urgency of climate change.

What’s Mine is Yours podcast
This podcast series on the climate crisis is part of ThisEgg’s motherEarth international project, which was created by teams across the world and supported by our Creative Commissions for Climate Action. It was produced in parallel with the dance film Better Late Than Never.
In each episode, you can hear from one person who describes where they live and how it has changed, or is changing. They talk to the hosts about their own emergency and also about what keeps them hopeful for the future.
