Margaret Mead is the best-known anthropologist of all time. She was fascinated by
how remote cultures, locked for centuries in a certain way of life, negotiated changes
from the modern world. Today, anthropologist Susie Crate studies communities negotiating
climate change. From Siberia to Peru to the South Pacific, Crate interacts
with villagers who face melting permafrost, receding glaciers, and rising tides.
The film interweaves the stories of these two observers of change. How are
human beings programmed to deal with change? And if it’s too late to change our
climate, is it possible to change how we’ve been programmed?
Susie’s teenage daughter Katie is her reluctant travel companion. Margaret Mead’s
daughter Mary Bateson (76) is also an anthropologist. The path towards change, Bateson suggests, is a bridge between generations.
