KALI WAAL is a 2024 short experimental documentary by Jasper Baldwin Coppes, set in a Dutch nature reserve mired in ecological controversy. Industrial sand extraction left the lake lifeless, and new projects involve dumping contaminated mud to "revive" biodiversity. A team of foreign researchers investigates this strange transformation, uncovering a surreal and ethically complex ecological evolution involving plants, algae, animals, and machines. The film critically explores the intersection of human intervention, industry, and non-human agency in rewilding narratives.
