About us
GEORGIA SCOTT

For over a decade through her documentary filmmaker work, Georgia has witnessed first hand the human and environmental repercussions of conflict, climate change and plastic pollution in all corners of our planet. These on the ground experiences have embedded within her a deep and unwavering sense of purpose.
