Seeing the Issue of the Climate Crisis from the Lens of an Indonesian Documentary Video

The documentary is one of the efforts of environmental activists in addressing the message of environmental conservation, especially about the climate crisis. As a medium of communication, film has the advantage of being complete audio, visually delivered verbally and non-verbally. The message of environmental conservation through documentary videos becomes important to be delivered sustainably. It becomes important because, environmental damage is increasingly widespread along with daily human activities. Data shows that the main factor causing the climate crisis is human behavior. Serious and massive action is needed to avoid the worst effects of the climate crisis. Environmental communication with documentary video media aims to try to awaken the audience to the importance of environmental sustainability by doing development in a sustainable manner. Theories about environmental communication, naturalizing culture and the concept of environmental literacy are references in this study.

This research aims to find out the message of environmental concern contained in selected documentary videos by looking at: choice of themes, selection of sources, characterization and other technical matters.
