00:00We are the President, we are the President.

00:05The Paris Agreement for the climate is accepted.

00:17It's been 10 years now that I've been filming the climate movement.

00:25The world's destruction and all those trying to protect it.

00:30We are the President, we are the President.

00:35We gave it our all.

00:37But 10 years on, we have to take stock.

00:39We're heading straight for a cliff.

00:41I felt powerlessness, like so many others of my generation.

00:45Eco-anxiety, as if I'd run out of breath.

00:51I wore myself out.

00:53Four years ago, I turned to the wild.

01:04I set off in search of a restorative activism.

01:11One grounded in a closer relationship with nature.

01:14And our shared interdependencies.

01:19Rooted in a landscape.

01:29And to bind myself to their fate.

01:56To slip into the breach.

01:59And find hope again.

02:06Between the crowd and solitude.

02:09This is my path.

02:10And where it's taken me.

02:14This is my path.

02:16And where it's taken me.
