This is the editorial of a special issue that brings together work that explores the role of movies, TV series and other video in conversations about environmental sustainability, unveiling and critically discussing what narratives frame the sustainability discourses expressed in those
stories. The tales explored here include movies and drama series that use diverse frames, levels of reality, and approaches to address a range of environmental issues, such as climate change, mountaintop removal, sustainability and water issues. Critically showing environmental issues, trying to raise awareness or contributing to change behaviour often constitute major objectives of these types of tales. Through their imagery, music, dialogues, and characters, these movies, TV series and other video-based pieces have the power to evoke emotional experiences among the audiences, which may contribute for messages to come across with subtlety and in an entertaining way.
