What if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we’ll ever get to build a better world? Directed by Avi Lewis and inspired by Naomi Klein’s non-fiction bestseller, This Changes Everything presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines of climate change, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Compelling, inspiring and accessible, the film suggests that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better. (Avi Lewis, 2015, 90 min.)
“Klein and those impassioned protesters provide something that has been in short supply in the predecessors – namely, a modicum of hope for the future.” Los Angeles Times
