I found this film very informative in both a scientific sense and as a concerned human being inhabiting a planet where the implications of a rising sea level on a global scale is worth waking up about. The scientific jargon is held to a minimum yet maintains the use of proper terminology, followed by explanations that are understandable to anyone not scientifically inclined. The film is provocative and stimulating and worthy of family discussion as well as college level classroom discussion. The real-life filming is incredible, clear, and exciting. The annimated illustrations of the ice stream, although a tricky concept to visualize, is done very well. Watching this film gives the viewer a sense of the immensity of the ice on our earth and it's importance in our life and it's precarious balance in the scheme of our earth. It also, without even trying, encourages women in the geoscience field and encourages the feeling that by research we are finding answers to earth problems. A ten year old watching this might think - I want to do that kind of work. A 45 year old might think the same!
