Imagine you’ve left the old story behind. You know, the one that takes for granted that Earth belongs to humans to exploit at will. You’ve started a hike into the unknown. There’s no map and for all you know you could be going in circles. But when you turn around and see the smog hanging over the world you left behind, you realize that even if you’re lost and without a map, you’re still on the right track.
Latest film released
On Compassion
Documentary 13 minutes
Would I have done things differently if I were in your shoes? If I were in the totality of your circumstances?
When we look into the eyes of “the other” – without looking away – the labels start to come off. The question “What’s it like to be you?” is a powerful starting point for building bridges between people.

A Tale from the Woods
Is it really “green” and “environmentally smart” to use clearcutting methods in forestry? Or is it an outdated, inefficient and heavily carbon-emitting practice that does not belong in a world already struggling with forest fires and a climate crisis?
An Unlearning (25 min)
My meeting with Charles Eisenstein, whose book “The Ascent of Humanity” helped me figure out what was “off” in this world, and how it could be instead.
