The film, produced by Darren Aronofsky and others, also went on to screen at numerous international film festivals, including the CPH in Copenhagen, the Edinburgh International Film Festival, and the Irish Film Institute's documentary lineup. "Pritz's docu-thriller — which names Darren Arronofsky as a producer — is hard to tear away from, with moments of beauty, but also of heart-racing dread." - BuzzFeed News “It is a compelling narrative with gorgeous cinematography that humanizes the insane destruction of our world’s lungs” - Hay, Have You Seen
