DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

 Bong Joon-ho South Korea

His films use natural and environmental catastrophes as metaphors for social collapse and class conflict, most notably in 'Snowpiercer' and 'Okja'.

 Werner Herzog Germany

He obsessively documents humanity's struggle against nature's indifference and destructive power in documentaries like 'Grizzly Man' and 'Into the Abyss'.
