This study aims to analyze how the environmental theme is conveyed in documentary films within the scope of entertainment content. In recent years, the reflections of the increasing awareness of the environment through entertainment content in the media have reached remarkable dimensions. In this context, the study also aims to draw attention to the role of media literacy education in individuals' critical evaluation of the environmental theme in popular culture. For this purpose, the study focused on the concept of eco-media literacy. The fact that eco-media literacy has come to the fore in international literature requires that the concept be brought to national literature as well. In this context, the study aims to determine the ecological footprints of the media in the context of eco-media literacy while analyzing the representations of environmental perception in the media. For this purpose, an interview was held with Antonio López, who played an important role in bringing the concept to the literature, within the scope of the study. In order to make an assessment of eco-media literacy, the 2019 Australian Documentary Film 2040 was chosen as sample media content in the research. This content has been analyzed with the method of analyzing media messages, which adopts an inquiry-based constructivist approach, where existing information meets new information in media literacy education. At the end of the study, the concept of eco-media literacy was discussed within the scope of sample media content; It is aimed to deepen the analysis, evaluation and current understanding by analyzing media messages within different categories.
