The program is a documentary series that shines the spotlight on climate change and its impact all over the world. Prominent personalities visit various locations to discover the real-world effects of the current environmental situation. Hollywood veteran James Cameron and actor Arnold Schwarzenegger are among the executive producers. David Letterman, Matt Damon, Harrison Ford, and Jessica Alba are listed as celebrity participants. 

In the 3-minute clip posted on YouTube, Joshua and his guide Rene tagged along with a fisherman named Cenon and his son Jory, on a day out on the water. As they observed the father and son, they saw for themselves how difficult it was to catch fish. 

They later on go back with Cenon and Jory for a meal, where they are served canned sardines. Joshua asks them how many times they get to eat fresh food, and was informed that sometimes, they don’t get to eat regular meals at all.
