The film uses high-tech tactics to infiltrate dangerous black markets and expose the connection between carbon emissions and species loss. Featuring breathtaking footage, Racing Extinction challenges the way we view the world and the environment. The film features prominent figures like Jane Goodall and Elon Musk, and was written by Mark Monroe and produced by Olivia Ahnemann and Fisher Stevens.
