The directors (Seth Kramer, Daniel Miller and Jeremy Newburger) describe it as a documentary focusing on “the parallel stories of two women: Margaret Mead, who popularized cultural anthropology in America; and Susie Crate, an environmental anthropologist currently studying the impact of climate change.” Within the film, these two anthropologists demonstrate how human societies change in the face of disruption while simultaneously being “uniquely revealed” through the perspectives of their daughters, Mary Catherine Bateson and Katie Yegorov-Crate, respectively.
