Synopsis
Glacial Balance is a journey along the spine of the Andes mountain range, from Colombia to Argentina, getting to know the individuals and lives of those who are first affected by the dwindling glacier reserve, the canaries in the mine. Along the way, we are accompanied by scientists who give us a perspective on what is really happening and what we can expect. And from that, we learn of the chain reaction effect that these disappearing glaciers are having on us and the rest of the world.
