Robin Petré
An immersive, visually striking journey deep into southern Galicia, one of Europe¡¯s most vulnerable forest fire zones, where wild horses have curbed flammable undergrowth for centuries under the watch of local cowboys. During the hottest summer ever recorded, humans and animals alike struggle to cope as inextinguishable fires draw closer.
Only on Earth is my second and most ambitious feature documentary. I hope the film will be an unshakeable, unforgettable experience for the audience. Ultimately, it should encourage people to think deeply about our impact on the natural world, and how we might stand together for a better future.
