‘Closing the Loop’ (2018) was the first feature film about the circular economy. It opens with the words: “Unless we go to Circular it’s game over for the planet; it’s game over for society”, but it actually sends a very hopeful message.
The film features a good number of examples where companies are managing to move away from resource depleting, waste producing linear business models towards greater sustainability. While highly critical of the current economy, it also says: there is another way.
This movie will definitely not give you nightmares, but it may give you ideas!
‘Closing the Loop’ was directed by two-time Telly® Award and Emmy® Award winning filmmaker Graham Sheldon, and is presented by global sustainability expert, Prof. Dr Wayne Visser of the Cambridge Institute of Sustainability Leadership (CLSL) . Dr Visser, better known as the author of "Thriving: The Breakthrough Movement to Regenerate Nature, Society and the Economy", is also a Nottingham alumni (PhD, 2007).
