The Burning Season
Young Aussie entrepreneur Dorjee Sun is on a quest to pitch a carbon-trading proposal at the climate change conference, thus saving the Indonesian rainforests and the orangutans who live there - and making Sun his fortune. As Indonesia prepares for the annual 'burning season', whereby forests are burned to clear the land for plantations of palm trees for their oil - and responsible for 20% of the world's carbon emissions - Sun becomes the key player in an environmental race against time. Narrated by Hugh Jackman.
