A summer of exceptional weather events forces the climate action agenda to the forefront again, and makes this gripping drama worth a closer look. Based on Andreas Malm’s book, it argues the case for aggressive climate action, and follows a disparate group of young people in California, brought together by the conviction that extreme response is required in order to affect change. Goldhaber presents each character in some detail, and follows the action through from plan to execution in a nail-biting and absorbing call to action.
Showing in association with The Bohemian Environmental Justice Film Festival (BEFF), the screening will be followed by an interactive exploration of climate action led by members of Bohemian Climate Co-Operative. This panel discussion will be approx. 45 minutes.
