Biocentrics

Through the eyes and voice of biologist Janine Benyus, the non-fiction feature “Biocentrics” takes the viewer through different corners of the planet to reveal the birth and the principles that guide biomimicry, a methodology of innovation inspired by nature. As a hub connecting ancestral knowledge, diverse cultures, natural technologies and initiatives that choose the continuity of life as their premise, the charismatic activist proposes a common agenda, a new posture and a tool, which is the vanguard of contemporary science, to face the global challenges that lie ahead and putting life back at the center of decision-making.
