Tonight, we present the grand finale of the docuseries HOPE! We Are In Time. This final episode, ‘The Secret Ingredient’, uncovers a truth long overlooked: that the key to saving our planet lies in ancestral wisdom and the power of women. Follow the fearless journey of Waorani leader Nemonte Nenquimo as she fights to protect the Amazon, alongside stories of resilience from the Philippines to India. With insights from icons like Jane Goodall and Paul Hawken, this film shows that we cannot fix the climate without fixing our societies. And that the world’s most effective environmental leaders are often the ones the system ignores. Upon watching the film, we’ll talk with co-director Jaime Bartolomé and climate activist Chihiro Geuzebroek about the power of hope in times like ours.
