ANIMAL

An activist’s journal

Bella Lack and Vipulan Puvaneswaran

In his latest feature film, Animal, Cyril Dion searches across the globe for solutions to the alarming erosion of biodiversity. On his tour of the world he has brought along two teenagers, Bella and Vipulan, both of whom are already seasoned climate and conservation campaigners. The three meet a series of activists trying to bring about change, who are all in their own way proposing solutions that require a fundamental revolution in Western modes of thought.

The release of Animal will be accompanied by a book written by Cyril Dion in which he explores the themes of the film further and in which Bella and Vipulan have the opportunity to express their feelings directly, describing how this film-making adventure has changed their lives and their outlook on the natural world and wildlife. Above all, their experiences have disabused them of certain preconceived ideas which they are now determined to dispel in others, including through this book.

This militant notebook is published in connection with the release of Cyril Dion’s latest film on November 24th 2021. event

The “Je passe à l’acte” series develops the theme of the movie Demain to bring scope for action to anyone who, after a movie, has a desire for action and change.

It provides an indispensable resource for initiating projects. Each work tackles the same issues – “Why?”, “Finding support”, “Building the right team”, “Starting out”, “Keeping going” and “What next?”
