For over 25 years, cameraman and ecologist John D. Liu has been on his global mission to green deserts and restore biodiversity. It all started in 1995 when Liu filmed the Loess Plateau in China. He saw how the local population transformed an area almost the size of the Netherlands from a barren, exhausted wasteland into a large green oasis. That experience changed his life. Since then, John Liu has traveled the world to convince and inspire government leaders, policymakers and farmers with his images and knowledge. He tirelessly brings the message that restoring ecosystems is not only possible, but also makes great economic sense. Tegenlicht followed Liu on his mission in Jordan and uses Liu's own film material to show that a green future is possible worldwide. You can watch a summary of Groen Goud from 2012.
