Next to the climate crisis, species extinction is the greatest threat to humanity. 80% of our food depends on pollination by insects. "LET IT BEE" shows what each of us can do to save the bees.
In her documentary, Vanessa Weber von Schmoller looks for solutions and meets people, projects and associations that protect the insects and inspire them to follow suit.
Weber von Schmoller made the film with the help of Yvonne Kühl and Heidi Reutter-Ambros in 2021-2022. She served as screenwriter, director and producer. The screenplay idea received the 2021 Environment and Project Award of the S-Bahn Munich.
In September 2022, "LET IT BEE" premiered at the Better World Film Festival in Munich and received the Sunrise Award. The documentary also screened at the Lift-OFF Film Festival Berlin 2023, where it won the audience award. In April, the film was shown as a partner of the Flower Power Festival in Munich's Gasteig.
