Recognising the magnitude of the climate crisis we are facing, independent filmmaker Michael Shaw, sells his house to travel around the world looking for answers. Pretty soon we begin to see how deep the predicament goes along with the systems and ways of thinking that brought us here.
It becomes clear that climate change is going to ruin our way of life but this then opens up a whole new set of questions: How did we get here? How do we choose to live and what actions make sense at this time? The people interviewed in the documentary, all highly regarded and well known spokespeople on the issue, argue it's too late to stop catastrophic climate change but in no way too late to regain a renewed life giving relationship with our world.
the film is an unflinching look about at what it means to be living in the midst of climate catastophe and finding purpose within it.
There must be those among whom we can sit down and weep and still be counted as warriors.
Adrienne Rich
in our online groups we support each other to have honest conversations and meet the situation with an open heart.
This is our calling to do what is right even if it does no good. To care for and celebrate the world, even if its fate breaks out hearts.
Kathleen Dean Moore
In a troubled time the willingness to proceed as if you are needed is a radical act.
