PLEISTOCENE PARK
USA 2022 – Director: Luke Griswold-Tergis – Original with English subtitles – Length: 101 min.
To fight climate change alone, you must be bold – and maybe eccentric. Sergey Zimov is both. His idea to populate the landscape with yaks and bison is as obvious as it is daring. He should know, as it was him who proved that the permafrost contains twice as much CO2 as the earth’s entire atmosphere. Jan Sebening
We present the German premiere of the film.

Luke Griswold-Tergis
Growing up in rural California and Alaska, Luke Griswold-Tergis has let his protagonists take over far more than was ever intended in PLEISTOCENE PARK. The cultural anthropologist balances observation and activism.
