Released in partnership with the Tyndall Centre For Climate Change Research, the film - produced by Unit 3 Films - sees Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja talking about their awareness of the damage live touring does to the environment, how the pandemic opens up time for reflection regarding the climate crisis and how the music industry "couldn't or wouldn't move fast enough for live music to play its part in rapid decarbonization."
