Up in Smoke

Story

This is a film about a technique that could save more carbon emissions annually than all global aviation combined. It is a film about one of the biggest contributors to tropical deforestation and global warming: slash and burn agriculture. The film follows British scientist Mike Hands, who has laboured for 25 years to perfect a revolutionary sustainable farming technique to replace slash and burn farming in equatorial rainforests. Now he “only” needs to persuade governments, agencies and, most importantly, the farmers to adopt it.

Director
