Four Seconds to Midnight

Synopsis

If the estimated 4.5 billion years our planet has been in existence is equated to 24 hours, modern humans have been around for 4 seconds. This film poses questions about our relationship with our home, and journeys from aerial terrains over Iceland to intimate macro worlds in southern England.
