“Forget everything you think you know about global warming. The really inconvenient truth is that it’s not about carbon- it’s about capitalism. The convenient truth is that we can seize this existential crisis to transform our failed system and build something radically better…”
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.This 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. What if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we’ll ever get to build a better world?
