Write a short summary of what happens in the film
”Nothing prepared me for what I saw up there,” the film begins. The words come from Karen Nyberg, a NASA astronaut who spent 180 days in space. Set to the cinematic score by Hanan Townshend, Karen reflects on the way we live, the progress humanity has made, and how it has affected our planet. As she observes Earth from space, it combines a personal story with philosophical questions about human nature and how to improve society without forgetting what makes us feel alive. We see concert crowds, unique animals, and outstanding human achievements. But we also see burning forests, polluting aircraft, and excavators in coal mines. In the end, she asks the ultimate question, ”Can we preserve our only home and still embrace the thrill of being human?” and as she drives away in the all-electric Polestar 2, the text reads: ”Maximal experience. Minimal impact.”
Cultural / Context information for the jury
The ”Overview Effect” is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by astronauts after seeing Earth from space. As one of less than 600 people in history, Karen Nyberg (who spent 180 days in space) has first-hand experience of this unique phenomenon.
Provide the full film script in English.
Nothing prepared me for what I saw up there.
I was overwhelmed by its beauty.
I felt the thrill of… being part of the human race.
It was crazy to me that the same species that started out with sticks and stones was now the same one looking at it from space.
It also made me think that this tiny small blue dot was extremely fragile. You know, our need to advance our species often comes at the expense of our home.
The question is: can we preserve our only home while still enjoying that thrill of being human?
