Ozone Hole: How We Saved the Planet
Program Details
The story of how nations came together and saved the world.
Ozone Hole: How We Saved the Planet tells the forgotten story of the hole in the ozone layer and how the nations of the world came together to fix it.
This timely documentary combines first-hand accounts from scientists who discovered the ozone-depleting chemicals in everyday products and the politicians who persuaded Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher—two of the most unlikely eco-warriors in history—to take action.
With these two heads of state taking the lead, more than 30 countries became convinced of this problem and signed the Montreal Protocol, the first global pollution reduction global treaty. This is the in-depth look at the reason why the ozone layer is showing signs of improvement today and how a better future was provided for generations to come.
