For three years, the Edges of Earth team has lived and worked in some of the most remote and rapidly changing ecosystems on the planet—above and below the waterline. From disappearing kelp forests to off-grid coastlines and deep jungle research stations, this global expedition set out to document collapse, but more so, to understand resilience.
What they uncovered is called the edge effect—a phenomenon where progress takes root in the margins, led by the people and systems that mainstream climate narratives often overlook.
This session features a screening of their short-form documentary, followed by a conversation and Q&A with expedition lead Andi Cross and special guests who’ve been part of this journey—from subsistence fishers and coral scientists to forest guardians and underwater engineers. Expect raw footage, grounded insights, and a reframing of what it means to make change in a world that often feels too big to fix.
