The Magnitude of All Things beautifully connects grieving of life and land loss. Narratives of individuals and groups who are deeply connected to the environment and are directly affected by changes to it are interwoven with the filmmaker’s childhood memories of time spent with family on the land. Climate-change causes and effects, combined with lamentations of loss, can motivate individuals, groups and communities to advocate for the environment in the hopes of inspiring worldviews and actions that value our relationship with the land. The filmmaker also addresses concepts of hope in relation to mourning and the future. Pre-knowledge building lessons in relation to causes and effects of climate change would enhance the overall learning outcomes that can be associated with this film.
