The Turning Point

Imagine the destruction of the environment from a different perspective where it is not the human race paving the way to species extinction but rather all those usually at the receiving end of what we think is a satisfactory duty of care to planet Earth.  Steve Cutts, an animator not unknown for the bleak messages contained in his work – here presents humanity as the species at risk in The Turning Point.  There are too many memorable moments in this short animation to mention but one that particularly resonated with me was the site of the orangutans destroying the rain forest: very Planet of the Apes gone completely psycho.  Yes, bleak this may be, but the message is incredibly powerful. Mr Cutts does it again.
