Climate Journalism on Screen

Climate change is here. It is a fact of daily life. The Industrial Revolution and ensuing turn-of-the-twentieth-century boom of contemporary existence-defining invention (cars, planes, plastics, you name it) were the starting point of a crisis that is rapidly pushing our global ecosystem toward collapse. There are root causes everywhere you look, fingers to be pointed in blame. What this film series aims to do is highlight recent work ambitious enough to reckon with the history and ideas that brought us here, stare into the current crisis, and boldly explore ways forward. These documentaries do not pretend to address climate change as a whole, but instead approach their multifaceted subjects with a clear-eyed understanding of the facts on the ground and in the atmosphere.
