National Geographic's acclaimed documentary Time and Water will soon be making its terrestrial TV and streaming debut.

What's Happening:

  • Following its release in theaters after rave reviews at the Sundance Film Festival, National Geographic's documentary Time and Water is coming to the small screen.
  • The documentary will air on Friday, July 31 at 9/8c on National Geographic, streaming the next day (August 1) on Disney+ and Hulu.

  • In Time and Water, renowned Icelandic poet and author Andri Snær Magnason is chasing something elusive. As the glacial ice of his homeland melts, he constructs a time capsule to hold onto this moment and send it to the future, before everything he loves slips away.
  • Using his own collected archives, his grandparents’ photographs and films, as well as traditional songs and folktales, Andri interlaces his family’s story with that of the land around him.
  • Directed by Fire of Love director Sara Dosa, Time and Water is a universal reflection on the power of home and what it means to be alive amid profound epochal change.
  • Our own Alex Reif praised the film, saying that "Dosa crafts a companion piece to Fire of Love that stands entirely on its own. It’s an elegy, a love story, a scientific reflection, and a deeply human act of remembrance. This documentary honors the people and places we lose — and the stories we refuse to let melt away." You can find out more about what he thought of the doc in his full Time and Water review.
