Conceived, written and directed by Isabella Rossellini, the Green Porno series began in 2008 as an experiment of the Sundance Film Festival (www.sundancechannel.com) website, a series of shorts on environmental topics for the general public. Then came the idea to expand it to a colourful, entertaining format, while maintaining a scientifically accurate content. In the 14 episodes (8 in the first, 6 in the second) Rossellini interprets various different animal species, insects, invertebrates or fish in the act of reproduction. The whole conception of outlandish costumes, novel screenplays, whimsical tone and impeccable science helped it gain an audience of 4 million viewers during the first series, followed shortly by the second.

Endangered by human actions, the diversity of species is crucial to the harmony of the interconnected ecosystems we inhabit: the implications of its loss and why this issue affects more than just those that go extinct.
