Ice on Fire

This 2019 American documentary film directed by Leila Conners and narrated and produced by Leonardo DiCaprio delves into the alarming acceleration of climate change while offering hope through potential solutions that could prevent ecological disaster. Unlike many climate documentaries that focus solely on the devastating effects of carbon emissions, glacier melt, and sea-level rise, Ice on Fire explores cutting-edge innovations and scientific projects aimed at reversing the damage. The film spans various regions — from the Arctic to Costa Rica — and introduces viewers to scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and activists working on carbon capture, renewable energy technologies, agroforestry, and regenerative agriculture. DiCaprio, a long-time environmental advocate, lends a compelling and scientifically grounded voice to the film, calling for urgent collective action. Ice on Fire serves not just as a warning but as an inspiring reminder that humanity has the tools and knowledge to change the trajectory of climate change if it acts decisively and immediately.
