Why On Earth establishes a vital connection between humans and animals through rarely seen footage exposing the rapid rate of deforestation due to the careless extraction of palm oil in Borneo and Sumatra and the rescue of endangered orangutans in Indonesia.
Three years in the making, the powerful documentary was shot by director of photography Hunter Nolan in five countries, including South Africa, Kenya, and Indonesia. The film includes a host of exclusive interviews with well-known leaders in the animal conservation world and fellow filmmaker and animal advocate Clint Eastwood.
