David Suzuki, iconic Canadian scientist, educator, broadcaster and
activist delivers a 'last lecture' -- what he describes as "a
distillation of my life and thoughts, my legacy, what I want to say
before I die". Filmed before a live audience, in front of a memory
box of moving, distilled images, he articulates a core, urgent message:
we have exhausted the limits of the biosphere and it is imperative that
we re-think our relationship with the natural world. Suzuki looks
unflinchingly at the strains on our interconnected web of life -- and
out of our dire present circumstances, he offers up a blueprint for
sustainability and survival. The film interweaves the lecture with
scenes from the places and events in Suzuki's life. As such, the film is
a biography of ideas -- forged by the major social, scientific,
cultural and political events of the past 70 years.
