It's been more than five years in the making, taken her from melting glaciers in Chamonix to overcrowded slums in Mumbai, but now it's finished.
Kiwi producer Lizzie Gillett's critically-acclaimed eco documentary The Age of Stupid is about to premiere in London, with film boffins already describing it as the natural follow-on to Al Gore's Oscar-winning An Inconvenient Truth.
The ambitious film is a mix of animation, drama and factual news content and is set in the future in a devastated world.
"If I knew now how hard it was going to be to make the film and all the things we were going to go through, I would definitely do it. It's been incredible," says producer Lizzie Gillett. "When you see people at a screening crying after the film and saying 'I'm going to change my life' and when you see politicians really listening to what you've said in your film, I mean I would definitely do it again."
The Age Of Stupid team took a punt and asked Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite to play the lead role - an aging archivist from the year 2055, trawling back over today's news footage.
"We contacted him through his agent and I think it was December the 17th about 3 o'clock, it must have been 2007, when he emailed us to say 'I'll do it,'" Ms Gillett says. "And when he agreed that kind of ratcheted up the film to a whole 'nother level."
Ms Gillett says the film is denial - denial that she feels keenly in New Zealand. She believes we're falling behind the rest of the world in our approach to climate change.
"The politicians in New Zealand are still debating whether climate change is really happening and whether it's man-made," she says. "They've kind of gone back 10 years behind what's happening in the rest of the world so New Zealand could definitely step up."
She says even the UK is ahead of New Zealand with its emissions bill in place, and think tanks urging the public to think before they buy, think before they invest, think before future generations look back on our era as The Age Of Stupid.
If there is one overwhelming theme that this film attempts to keep driving home, it is this - we may have learnt how to profit from our planet, it's just that we haven't yet learnt how to protect it.
In December when world leaders meet to sign an agreement on greenhouse gas emissions, Ms Gillett's film will be used by campaigning climate activists.
"The politicians have been coming directly to us instead of the public ground-swell rising and then pressuring the politicians," Ms Gillett says. "I mean so far we've screened in the UK Parliament, the Dutch Parliament, the EU Parliament, we've got them all lining up. Obama's think tank has asked us to screen there and also Kofi Annan is hosting a screening so it's actually working the other way around so far."
The film has been five years in the making and what Ms Gillett says is a labour of love. She hopes it will encourage people to rethink the role they play in the future of the planet. New Zealanders will get to see The Age of Stupid later this year.
