Normal Is Over: The Movie

Normal Is Over is a compelling and visually rich film directed by investigative TV-journalist Renée Scheltema. This independent award-winning documentary analyzes the big picture of why humans have inadvertently imperiled our planet: climate change, species extinction, the depletion of critical natural resources, and industrial control of our food production. This film examines how our economic and financial systems connect all these issues, and offers SOLUTIONS, which could be implemented immediately, from practical everyday fixes to rethinking the overarching myths of our time. Renée takes off on a multinational voyage, meeting not only prominent experts, but also everyday citizens who concentrate on matters such as ecological economics, organic agriculture, the banning of plastic, saving species, sustainable finance, architecture, renewable energy, and more. Filming, producing and editing this film took Renée 5 years.
