Act of God is a documentary that emphasizes natural landscapes and atmospheric phenomena over social interactions. Since the film does not rely on human characters, it avoids typical sociological metrics. The work steers clear of social identity politics and does not use human characters to explore diverse identities or social hierarchies. Instead, it offers a progressive environmentalist message by highlighting the vastness of natural forces compared to human industry.
