Planet of the Humans

The 2019 documentary film directed and written by Jeff Gibbs critically examines the modern environmental movement and its connections with large corporations and wealthy foundations. The film questions the effectiveness of renewable energy sources such as biomass, wind, and solar energy, arguing that they are not as environmentally friendly and sustainable as commonly believed. Gibbs explores how the production and use of these technologies still rely on fossil fuels and lead to environmental degradation. The film also raises concerns about whether green technologies can address resource depletion issues without reducing consumption and population growth. Featuring interviews with ecologists, sociologists, and other experts, as well as footage from environmental movement events, "Planet of the Humans" sparked significant controversy and debate among environmentalists and scientists. Some criticized the film for outdated information and misleading claims, while others praised its provocative approach and encouragement of discussion.
