Climate change is a topic that has been on the minds of scientists for quite some time. However, it can be challenging to grasp the importance of changing temperatures and patterns without understanding how they affect people's lives. After the Ice is a powerful mini-doc series that highlights the stakes of climate change in a way that you'll never forget.

transcend the boundary

Native Alaskans are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Their homes, sources of food, and entire culture are at risk of disappearing if we don't take action soon. By sharing their stories through After the Ice, we hope to raise awareness about these critical issues and encourage others to join us in fighting for a better future.

This mini-doc series has already made an impact at international conferences and reached a wider audience through PBS and PBS Terra. After the Ice spread the word about the real lives that are being affected by this global crisis.

You’ll never feel the same about climate change again.
