The film focused on the balance between technological expansion and the protection of the environment. The film showed environmental damage caused by humans and what is being done to fix the damage created.
The film was projected on a 23x60 foot screen, and used a 13-track digital sound system.[3]
It closed on January 1, 1995, and was replaced by Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable. The new film featured some re-edited footage from Symbiosis.
The film has since been shown at film festivals specialising in the 70 mm film format; at the National Media Museum in 1998, and in Karlsruhe, Germany in 2012.[4]
