Paul Frost, son of Steve and Mary Frost of New Prague, has been living in New York and working as a film editor for several years. Since 2014, he has been involved with the Emmy Award-winning documentary series, Years of Living Dangerously.
The show premiered in 2014 on Showtime and a second season was picked up and made its premier last month on National Geographic Channel.
The series focuses on global warming and its effects on the planet. Among the executive producers are James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The weekly episodes feature celebrity hosts traveling throughout the world to interview experts and ordinary people who are affected by global warming. This season’s episodes have included segments on the effects of rising sea levels in Miami and other coastal areas, historic droughts in California and Africa, efforts to improve technology to lessen the risk to the environment, including solar energy, and actions taken by the US military to mitigate the effects of climate change. Celebrity narrators this season included Schwarzenegger, David Letterman, Cecily Strong, Don Cheadle, Gisele Bundchen and Jack Black.
This week’s episode, scheduled to be broadcast on National Geographic Channel at 9 p.m. Wednesday and repeated next week at 10 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, is titled "A Better Way Forward," and talks about the affects of global warming on the world’s oceans.
