We’re honored to have Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson and Phillip Watson join our incredible team of executive producers. Though rooted in Utah, this story transcends geography. It’s about survival and the choices we make as a society when faced with collapse. #sundance by @thelakedoc

Meet the scientists who see what the rest of us miss. Bonnie Baxter has spent years studying the extremophile microbes of Great Salt Lake. Organisms most people will never notice, in an ecosystem most people take for granted. Microbiologists like her are often the first to sound the alarm on environmental collapse, because they understand life at the scale where it actually begins. The smallest organisms tell the biggest stories. We’re so excited to share the film at @westminsterslc tomorrow evening with Bonnie 🔬🌊 by @thelakedoc
