This time on Planet Visionaries, host Alex Honnold meets two filmmakers on the front lines of environmental storytelling: Alice Aedy, documentary director and co-founder of Earthrise Studio, and Malaika Vaz, filmmaker and CEO of Untamed Planet. Both are National Geographic Explorers whose work captures the intersection of people, planet, and power, using storytelling to shift perspectives and inspire action.  

For nearly a century, Rolex has supported pioneering explorers. Over time, the company has moved from championing exploration for the sake of discovery to protecting the planet. Through the Perpetual Planet Initiative, Rolex stands alongside the inspiring people who are dedicated to building a better future for all life on Earth.
