3/5

It doesn’t offer all the answers and sometimes glosses over the thorniest issues, but in a media landscape saturated with despair, its balanced emphasis on resilience, collaboration, and ecological possibility is a powerful reminder: the fight isn’t over.

Escape from Extinction Rewilding really could be a dedicated TV series for a streaming network. And the encouraging, uplifting nature of the documentary really could make for a welcome educational aide in classrooms or novice environmentalists.
