From the moon Planet Earth is a beautiful sphere of blues, greens and swirling white clouds. It is a seemingly peaceful composition that holds within it everything, quite literally everything. All the people, places and stories of our existence. How can we decipher all those experiences, all those elements that distinguish us as human beings? And how do we interpret the greatness of the natural world, the effects of climate change and the above all: how everything is interconnected.

On this, Episode 2 of From the Moon, we are going to examine a Divided Planet. In the last episode It quickly became apparent that the peaceful picture of the blue and green planet that we observe - is just that - a picture. A beautiful picture that evokes much emotion in all of us. But should we question that sense of collectivity? Afterall as much as many of our guests observe a wonderful natural world that needs to be preserved, they also see a broken planet with many deep cracks. Many of these divisions seem to be growing and the Covid 19 Pandemic has highlighted them like never before.
