Earth Flix Screening: Climate Changers

Earth Flix: Cinema 4 Change, screening our eleventh film: Climate Changers

Synopsis: Directed by Johan Gabrielsson, and written and produced by Mark Forstmann, Climate Changers follows acclaimed scientist Tim Flannery as he searches for the missing ingredient in our fight against climate changeleadership. Where are the climate leaders who will drive change? How might they succeed where others have failed? Tim Flannery poses these questions as he meets global leaders from the corridors of power and frontlines of climate change. Climate Changers delves into what frustrates Tim, what motivates him, and explores where Tim believes the solutions lie to humanity’s greatest challenge.

Tim Flannery said “For a long time, there has been a gap in climate leadership. I wanted to dig deeper, work out why we are so lacking in climate leaders, and talk about how we can tackle this challenge. I met with some incredible minds in the making of this film, people who are out there doing incredible work. I hope some of the ideas explored can empower policy makers and the broader population to instigate the changes we so desperately need.

This immersive journey takes Tim from his early days as a paleontologist, observing the first signs of climate change, to his tireless efforts at Copenhagen’s COP15 in 2009, to fending off deeply personal attacks from deniers and right-wing media to Glasgow’s COP26 in 2021, and to today’s pressing geopolitical challenges and the fossil fuel industry’s obstruction of change. And yet, as Tim finds, there are still many causes for hope.
