In Talking Water with renowned wildlife cinematographer Justine Evans, we reflect and dive into Justine's connection to Water. From early childhood memories of playing in the River Thames, to breaking into the nature-documentary industry as a camera woman, to traveling the world and witnessing nature's wonders. We explore her journey from being a uniquely patient and quiet observer, to becoming an outspoken and influential activist for the natural world as she stepped into her role as lead claimant in the UKs largest class-action lawsuit for water protection and environmental justice.
