Rising Tides, one of RTÉ's biggest budget nature films, does not sugar coat the rate of climate breakdown and what is in prospect. What is one of RTÉ's biggest budget nature films ever made (costing €750,000) overcomes that difficulty cleverly by constantly highlighting risks such as disappearing ice sheets, melting permafrost and climate-induced migration, and the consequences for all of humanity - and then brings all that back to home.
