Legacy
February 2025

A tribute to life's smallest heroes, Legacy reveals the beauty of often overlooked organisms that are essential to the health and future of our planet. These unsung guardians play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystems, ensuring food security and stabilizing our climate. By blending art and science, using centuries-old illustrations, the film honours these indispensable species - many of which are threatened with extinction - while inspiring both awe and urgency. Legacy is a celebration of nature's delicate balance and a call to preserve its fragile beauty for future generations.

Produced by RW Media.
