Prompted by a post from @krishnanrohit: “I’m once again registering my annoyance at the fact that EVERY SINGLE NATURE DOCUMENTARY talks about how humans suck. Literally every single one. I am so tired of explaining to my 7yo son that no humans are not destroying everything. That he can be optimistic. It’s obscene.”
A bit dated but Cousteau’s documentaries, while it mentions environmental problems, do that from a discovery point of view.
