Award-winning Australian film-maker Celeste Geer is in New Zealand for the launch of her latest documentary, opening the Doc Edge film festival in Auckland tonight.  

The Endangered Generation? explores the impact climate change is having on indigenous culture and traditions, featuring Maori, First Nations and Panamanian Guna people.

It's narrated by Oscar-winning actor and producer Laura Dern.

The wonders of the natural world and the power of human connection and resilience under pressure are themes throughout Celeste's work.

Her previous film Then The Wind Changed, about the Black Saturday Bush Fires, charted her own family's recovery from the devastating disaster.
