<![CDATA[The global ecological crisis not only affects the physical environment but also evokes emotional responses, such as eco-anxiety, and hopes for the restoration of nature. This study examines the portrayal of emotional reactions and ecological hopes in the film The End We Start From (2023) through Glotfelty’s (1996) ecocritical framework.
