About the film

Chasing Time is the sequel to the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning film, Chasing Ice. This new film catches up with photographer James Balog 15 years after he opened the world’s eyes to the reality of climate change with his photos documenting the disappearing glaciers worldwide. Chasing Ice energized the world to take climate change seriously and to take action; now Chasing Time aims to inspire a whole new generation of climate scientists, activists, and artists. This film asks the question: What does it mean to support each other in climate justice and other movement work, and what does it mean to be a good mentor?

If a single photo can inspire change, how influential are a million images? Over the course of the 15-year Extreme Ice Survey project, photographer James Balog and his team brought some of the world’s first and most compelling visual evidence of climate change to the global stage as he depicted the rapid melting of glaciers around the world. Thoughtfully helmed by acclaimed director Jeff Orlowski-Yang (Chasing Ice, Chasing Coral, The Social Dilemma) and first-time filmmaker Sarah Keo, Chasing Time is a meditative exploration of time and mortality, following James and his crew as they bring the decades-long project to a close, cataloging more than one million images in the process. The short documentary reunites James and the Emmy-award-winning team behind Chasing Ice to capture the end of the epic undertaking and spotlight the power of an intergenerational effort to seed hope and inspire action toward a sustainable future. A beautiful tribute to the power of images and the importance of mentorship, the team examines the legacy their efforts have made on the world.
