International superstar Sia and Academy Award nominated composer, producer, singer/songwriter J. Ralph have created a brand new song ‘One Candle’ exclusively for the new documentary by Oscar®-winning director Louie Psihoyos. Racing Extinction will be premiered on Wednesday 2nd December on Discovery Channel UK.
The film exposes the hidden world of endangered species black markets and reveals shocking undercover footage of illegal animal trafficking. It speculates that we are approaching the sixth mass extinction.
With an inspiring message that aims to shine a spotlight on man’s impact on our planet and encourage dramatic change, RACING EXTINCTION highlights our indisputable impact on our natural world that is already causing irreparable damage and has resulted in many species dying out forever, even in the last 50 years.
“With the help of Discovery I believe we can create a tipping point to create the change we need to preserve a planet that can sustain life for all species,” said Louie Psihoyos, Director. “There has never been a more important time in the world than to be alive now — the decisions we make in the next few years will impact the Earth and animal species for millions of years.”
RACING EXTINCTION is the catalyst for a larger, ongoing campaign utilising the hashtag #StartWith1Thing to serve as Discovery’s call to action to create a worldwide movement. Discovery will ignite curiosity and global actions that people can take in four areas: fighting wildlife trafficking, reducing carbon emissions through use of green energy/transport, supporting green causes, and eating less meat – all by starting with one thing.
