Join hosts Stu Livingstone and Karen Smith as they put a spotlight on the people that are studying and thinking about environmental change. There is so much science happening that's shedding light on not only our current impact on the planet but also the things that we can do to find a new path forward. Part of that story is about following the science, but the other part is about the people that are doing the science and the action that will spur transformative change. Subscribe to learn about our place in the environments that are emerging around us.

#35 Behind the lens with Caitlin Starowicz

Welcome back to the final episode of Season 3 of Emerging Environments.

In this episode we continue exploring the power of story-telling with award-winning film producer and director, Caitlin Starowicz. Caitlin has over 10 years of experience in television and film, from comedy to drama to documentary. Her extensive documentary work spans broad environmental themes including conservation and climate change. In our conversation, we chat about three of Caitlin’s recent projects.

Her 2018 film She Walks with Apes follows the work of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas, sometimes known as the “Trimates”, who studied great apes in the wild. The film also introduces the next generation of young women scientists who were inspired by them and discusses the current state of great ape conservation. It premiered on BBC America on the 50th anniversary of Earth Day.

Recently, Caitlin has worked on two climate change documentaries. Her 2020 documentary about Greta Thunberg and the youth climate justice movement, entitled Rebellion, was the season premiere of the 60th anniversary CBC’s The Nature of Things, and, most recently, her 2023 documentary, entitled Apocalypse Plan B investigates the potential perils of climate geoengineering to mitigate global warming.

Documentary film-making is such an integral vehicle for science communication and it was so inspiring to have Caitlin share her insights with us. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Caitlin Starowicz and we look forward to reconnecting with you for Season 4!
