A new film has been shot that aims to show the effect of climate change across North and South America.

Going South, Cycling through the Americas will examine the environmental concerns of the continents as a team of cyclists journey across the land, reporting the ecological differences they came across along the way.

Cinematographer Milan Collin said: "It was a road movie marked by extremes - from the chill of Alaska to the heat of the jungle."

The camera crew covered nearly 17,000 miles on their journey.

Cycling from Alaska to the southernmost point of Argentina, they filmed the vast differences in the landscape including glaciers, jungles and mountain ranges.

Also documented by the film are the environmental projects that are underway to reduce the effects of climate change.

The film, produced by deepeei productions, was inspired by Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, which influenced the US House of Representatives to establish the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming.
