Insects were the first animals to evolve flight nearly 440 million years ago, and they survived all five of the known mass extinctions since then. They have also been called the “glue of life” on Earth; they literally hold ecosystems together. But, there is evidence that the pace of decline among insects in parts of the world today is fast approaching the levels of previous catastrophes.
What does this mean for the rest of life on Earth, including humans? What is causing this extinction crisis? What can be done to reverse the trend? Our new release The Little Things That Run the World introduces viewers to a diverse group of scientists, nature lovers, gardeners, farmers, and general bug enthusiasts in exploring the importance of flying insects amid rapid declines in their numbers. The film documents the mysteries of the declines alongside creative and heroic human efforts to change the course of evolutionary history. (Doug Hawes-Davis, 2025, USA, 1:45, NR)
