2021 has been a robust year in the way of films exploring the lives of environmental conservationists.Documentary Day sponsored by National Geographic, “Becoming Cousteau” director Liz Garbus shared what drove her to explore the life and environmental trajectory of legendary French explorer and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau.
Sally Aitken, director of “Playing With Sharks,” said that her route to the story of diver and conservationist Valerie Taylor happened the opposite way. The conversation also featured the creatives behind films about other pressing moments in history, such as “Rescue,” Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi’s documentary about the 2018 Tham Luang rescue, in which 12 Thai boys and their soccer coach were trapped in a flooded cave. While the mission was recent and widely reported on by journalists, Vasarhelyi spoke on the necessity of understanding stories like these in the context of the perspectives being offered.
Matthew Heineman, whose film “The First Wave,” tells the story of health care workers at a New York City hospital in the first four months of the pandemic, concurred.
