This Changes Everything is a documentary of hope from the front lines of our climate crisis by bestselling author and award winning filmmaker Naomi Klein. Filmed over 211 shoot days in nine countries and five continents over four years, This Changes Everything is an epic attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change.
Inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction bestseller This Changes Everything, the film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond. Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein’s narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.
Additional Information: This film is part of a monthly lecture/film series offered Jan – April 2016 called “The Beloved Community and Climate Change: Healing Ourselves Through Healing Our Planet”
