THE ENDANGERED GENERATION? is your guide to surviving the Anthropocene.

This film challenges the myth that our world is fundamentally driven by selfishness and competition - a story that for

centuries has shaped our understanding of humankind and nature. Instead, we take the audience on an unabashedly

positive and hopeful journey to reconnect with our environment and with each other - revealing a neglected side

of human nature, and the potential of the diversity and deep connections that already exist in our world, hidden just

beyond our view...

Supported by narration from Laura Dern, our primary guides are U.S. biologist Tamsin Barker and Panamanian/Guna

indigenous leader Agar Tejadar. Tamsin treks into the jungle of Central Panama, hoping to discover novel survival

strategies used by organisms there that can be applied to business and engineering in the US. She is led by Agar, who

is making her way back to her ancestral jungle village with a mission to save it from environmental disaster. As they

venture deep into the jungle they are greeted by a magical world of interconnected and collaborating species that

delight Tamsin. However, as Agar reveals the knowledge of her people, passed down through generations, lessons of

biology give way to a deeper understanding of our physical, psychological and spiritual connection to our world.
