Our Time is about a four-billion-year journey to a single moment in time, when one species gets to decide to protect all that it cherishes, or to stand by and watch as the climate crisis engulfs it all. The storyteller is a professor of geology, who did not understand what it all meant, until it was explained to him by the children of the world.

Parts of Our Time are set on Islay.
