This film anthology explores the concept of interdependence and our urgent need to reduce environmental damage and to preserve our natural resources, with respect to the four fundamental elements essential for our life on this Planet. Comprised of eleven short films from well-known independent filmmakers from the five continents, Interdependence offers a glimpse into the diverse impacts of climate change across the globe, and the ways that we’re all connected.

This film was being offered as part of our 2025 Buddhism & Ecology Summit: Experiencing Interconnectedness in the Natural World, online from April 22–24, 2025. The film was available to stream  from April 22–27, 2025. Learn more about the summit here.
