We see moments from the movie compared side-by-side to the real-life photos of Elton John. These photos include nearly every single on-stage costume from the movie and throughout Elton’s life: a photo of him as a child, a photo of his family today, and how he has been since battling his addictions. (Sober for the past 28 years and counting; wanting to be a positive part of his children’s lives by spending more time with them; and finally being loved — by his husband.)

Now in the twilight of their eminent careers, these five unsung heroes of modern ecology share the stories of their adventures, reveal how their pioneering work flipped our view of nature on its head, and give us a chance to reimagine the world as it could and should be.
