In this episode of the Seeing series, Carrie chats with Charlie Hamilton James, a world renowned photographer and wildlife filmmaker and BAFTA award-winning director. His latest project ‘End Times’, a powerful and brutal comment on the state of our planet, is the collision of a lifetime of learning and understanding, not just of how to create content and tell stories but how we now consume that content.

From Carrie: "Let's be honest, the art world can be pretty allergic to sincerity, whether it's animals, activism, actual emotion, it's just not cool to be sincere. Maybe that's a worldwide problem, not just an art world problem, but it is a thing. And yet here I am, talking to Charlie Hamilton James about his project, which is totally sincere and I tried to catch him out about ten times. I tried to like find the fatal flaw in his project and it's just not there. This is a man who truly believes that what he's doing is important, because like it is crucially important. This conversation wasn't easy. It's not easy to engage with his work on the level that it requires, but it was so worth having.
