The story

What Is Wild Relatives About?

The premise of Wild Relatives without spoilers.

Located deep within the Norwegian permafrost, the Global Seed Vault preserves seeds from across the globe as a safeguard against potential disasters. This documentary follows the unprecedented replication of seeds originally from a gene bank in Aleppo, Syria, which were left behind when the institution relocated to Lebanon due to the ongoing civil war. Syrian refugees are diligently performing this vital work in the Beqaa Valley, facing challenges from both arid conditions and the influence of large agricultural corporations. Simultaneously, the Arctic Circle, where the vault was designed to endure extreme conditions, is threatened by rising temperatures and melting glaciers.
