Ice on Fire explores innovative solutions to the climate crisis, offering a realistic but hopeful perspective on a key global issue that demands our attention. Ice on Fire details the importance of an immediate, two-pronged approach to reversing the crisis: reducing carbon emissions through traditional renewable energy sources and new ones, like tidal energy, and implementing “drawdown” measures, focusing on methods for drawing down and sequestering carbon, including direct air capture, sea farms, urban farms, #biochar, marine snow, bionic leaves and others. Ice on Fire is directed by Leila Conners; narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio; produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, Mathew Schmid and Leila Conners; executive producers, George DiCaprio, Roee Sharon Peled; cinematography by Harun Mehmedinovic. For HBO: executive producers, Nancy Abraham and Lisa Heller.
