Living in the Time of Dying
This recent film, Living in the Time of Dying, made by the Australian film-maker
Michael Shaw in response to his own dawning awareness of species extinction,
asks bluntly: "Are humans likely to become extinct?" To find answers, Michael
sold his home and with his partner Michelle Walker set off on a journey around
the world to interview four people who have been speaking on the issue. The
result is an unexpectedly beautiful and life-affirming film.
