THE RISING WILD

Through the lens of American photographer, writer, and documentary filmmaker Olivia Katz, the series follows her journey across Australia as she documents communities on the frontlines of climate change and those driving solutions that foster regeneration and hope.

Each episode explores a unique context in which communities are driving solutions that benefit our natural world and the communities that depend on it. From urban renewal to regenerative agriculture and riparian restoration, each episode illuminates the power and possibility of working with nature rather than against it.

Olivia serves as both the on-camera host and narrator, leading this series with heartfelt compassion, a deep love of the natural world and an innate curiosity, bringing the audience along, almost as a friend would, on this transformative ride.

The Rising Wild will document and amplify stories of solution makers--those who are harnessing the power of nature, community, and traditional wisdom to address our climate challenges with creativity and courage.

A special focus will be spent on amplifying First Nations, gender diverse, and climate vulnerable voices, creatures and ecosystems.

The Rising Wild is a collection of tales about profound environmental possibility and hope forged through action.

The Rising Wild will provide a reimagined vision of what the future could look like. A future in which we thrive alongside nature and where evidence and action inspire change.
