Narrated by Iolo Williams. Wales’ wild landscapes stand as silent witnesses to an ecological emergency: over a sixth of native plants face extinction. Their survival rests on one botanist, Dr. Kevin McGinn, and his tireless team.
The Red List follows Kevin’s year-long race to collect seeds from 25 endangered species. Against record-breaking heat, climate change, and personal loss, each seed becomes a fragile act of hope.
Told with urgency and heart, this documentary exposes the hidden struggles of conservation and reminds us that even the smallest efforts can help secure a more resilient future.
