Based on Naomi Klein’s international bestseller, the film This Changes Everything asks: what if confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we’ll ever get to build a better world? Shot in nine countries the film presents powerful portraits of communities on the front lines. We visit a young indigenous leader in Alberta’s Tar Sands country, a goat ranching couple in Montana, a Greek housewife in the midst of economic crisis, and an Indian matriarch battling a proposed coal-fired power plant. Connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there, Klein builds to the idea that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.
