The documentary will also feature interviews with current and former Earthshot finalists and winners including Notpla, Amazon Sacred Headwaters, Restor, Mukuru Clean Stoves, and many more.
"Audiences will hear the personal stories of the people behind these innovative solutions and learn about how they are driving progress towards the five Earthshots," the organisation explained in a press release.
These are "Fix Our Climate, Protect and Restore Nature, Build A Waste-Free World, Revive Our Oceans, and Clean Our Air."
Prince William founded the Earthshot Prize in 2020, inspired by the late President John F Kennedy's Moonshot prize which had similar goals.
