This Changes Everything, the film based on Naomi Klein’s bestselling book of the same name, connects carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Scene by scene, the film builds Klein’s most controversial and exciting idea: that surviving the crisis of climate change requires that we transform our failed economic system into something radically better. We examine powerful portraits of communities on the front lines: Montana’s Powder River Basin, the Alberta Tar Sands, the coast of South India, Bejing.
Despite the gravity of a world in the grip of endless cycles of consumption, Klein offers hope: “The realization that a solution is possible, well, that changes everything.”
