A documentary feature film currently in the final stages of post production.

ABOUT THE FILM

Over the course of 34 days at sea deep in the arctic circle, the wages of knowledge are explored. The ship’s mariners and scientists reflect on their life at sea, as they attempt to gain a greater understanding of climate change both past and present.

THE BADEX MISSION

Around 15,000 years ago, the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet destabilized and then retreated at an accelerated rate, but the reasons for this rapid deglaciation remain unclear. The Baffin Bay Deglaciation Experiment (BADEX) seeks a greater understanding of this paleoclimate event, in the hopes of gaining deeper insights into climate change today.

As the BADEX scientists map the seafloor and extract a series of sediment cores from beneath the sea, a narrative emerges about climate change, then and now.

PURPOSE

A Map of the World in Time is at once an investigation into climate change, and a portrait of a community with a shared mission. The film creates a portrait of the scientists and the crew alike, exploring both the critical need for the scientific work and the personal trials and tribulations of a group of individuals working together to better understand climate change and the Earth’s geologic history.

A Map of the World in Time seeks to make a significant contribution to the documentary history of oceanography while also exploring universal themes of endurance and the quest for knowledge, as the BADEX scientists and mariners work in unison to to better understand anthropogenic climate change.
