Here
is the first trailer for Showtime’s docu-series Years of Living Dangerously.
The show comes from executive producers James Cameron and Jerry Weintraub and
their love for the Planet and Environment and their concerns about Global
Warming.
The
premise of the new show seems to be, if the magnificent natural wonders and
cuddly animals don’t make you think about the harm HUMANS are wreaking upon the
World and its delicate balance, then let’s focus on the Human side of things
and show how Global Warming it’s affecting US directly.
Years
of Living Dangerously will be a six to eight hour-long episodes and will
feature celebrity correspondents as they travel across the World and see regions
and people that were affected by Climate Change, from lack of water to too much
of it.
The
series will air on Showtime on April of 2014.
