you don’t have to believe in man-made climate change to see what man-made pollution has done to the world.
synopsis
The Burning Question is a documentary that begins in the waste-strewn landscapes of Indonesia, where illegal plastic fires smolder in silence—and ends with a global call to redefine how we value the planet itself. As climate tipping points accelerate and corporate accountability remains elusive without an ecocide law, a new vision emerges: former IMF economist Ralph Chami introduces a revolutionary framework that gives monetary value to living ecosystems—allowing communities to earn by protecting nature, rather than exploiting it. This is a story of policy, power, and possibility: what if the most valuable thing on Earth is the Earth itself?
