"Iceberg" is a documentary series that delves into the hidden movements reshaping our world in response to pressing global crises. Each episode captures transformative stories from communities, innovators, and leaders working to bring sustainable solutions to the forefront. By revealing these often-overlooked forces, Iceberg challenges the dominant narrative of helplessness and offers a new vision of possibility and resilience.
Episode 1. GDP: Gross Deep Prosperity
We will see what keys are being developed to redirect our macroeconomy, abandoning the dependence on growth and establishing a regenerative economy through the examples of the Gross National Happiness Index used by Buthan or the cutting-edge ideas of Positive Money. We will delve on the complex anatomy of happiness in the West and the consequences of pursuing it at any cost.
Episode 2. A Human-scale planet
We will connect the dots between energy, food production and mobility while discovering some of the most relevant projects being implemented like the new city model of Pontevedra (Spain), the 99% renewable energy system in Costa Rica or the permaculture approach to live in balance with our surroundings. New research in archeology will make us rethink our official history, offering us a surprising perspective about us.
Episode 3. The New Era: Biosphere Consciousness
We will discover Fairphone, the only fair-trade phone in the world and the Orquesta de Cateura’s recycled instruments as strong initiatives to change the manufacturing. We will see the recent cases on the rights of nature in Spain linked to deliberative democracy experiences in Taiwan. We will discover the last studies on generosity and altruism to defy beliefs about ourselves.

Iceberg is more than a documentary series; it’s a transmedia project that extends into real-world impact. Alongside the documentary, Iceberg offers a podcast where you can hear directly from initiative leaders around the world, crowdfunding opportunities to support transformative projects, and a dedicated section for exploring the initiatives featured in each episode. Iceberg invites you not only to watch but to participate in the movements shaping our future.
The Podcast is the space where we are going to talk about everything
that the media tends to forget when it comes to the climate crisis,
but which is key if we really want to change the rules of the game....
because yes!...we can change the rules: dampen climate change, protect
biodiversity or end extreme inequality. We will even touch on topics
such as “time poverty”, the 15-hour work week or how to rethink the
economy based on the citizen happiness index.
We will have a wide range of guests to offer you fresh perspectives,
surprising ideas and conversations that will make you rethink many
things.
This transmedia project is not just another documentary: it is a piece
within a global movement that seeks to change current dynamics and
ensure a livable planet for present and future generations. Changing
the world is not something that can be done alone; it requires a
collective effort. Collaboration is essential for any real
transformation, and diversity of voices and perspectives is key to
finding innovative solutions.
We want this project to
reflect that spirit of co-creation. We believe that you also have
ideas, projects and reflections that can enrich the world of Iceberg.
This crowdfunding is a space to create together.
Every euro
we raise will be carefully allocated to different areas of the project
to ensure the highest quality production and maximize its impact.
Let’s imagine new futures and the strength to bring them to life
