FILM DESCRIPTION: “Going Circular” dares to imagine a future where humankind not only survives, but flourishes, by rethinking global paradigms and respecting the limits of our planetary resources.

Meet four groundbreaking thinkers who navigate environmental, economic, and social crises of the modern age. They each discover that the solutions for creating a circular economy and planet have already been perfected in nature itself.

“Going Circular” is co-directed by two-time Primetime Emmy nominee and Bafta-winning (“The Human Body”) filmmaker Richard Dale and Nigel Walk (“How to Grow a Planet”).

Post-film discussion will be streamed to virtual watch party and to Waubonsee Community College and Maine South High School.
