What if
confronting the climate crisis is the best chance we’ll ever get to build a
better world?
Filmed over 211 shoot days in nine countries and five
continents over four years, This Changes Everything is an epic
attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change.
Directed by Avi Lewis, and inspired by Naomi Klein’s
international non-fiction bestsellerThis Changes Everything, the film
presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from
Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South
India to Beijing and beyond.
Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein’s
narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put
it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and
exciting idea: that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform
our failed economic system into something radically better.

Over the course of 90 minutes, viewers will meet…
Crystal, a young
indigenous leader in Tar Sands country, as she fights for access to a
restricted military base in search of answers about an environmental disaster
in progress.
Mike and Alexis,
a Montana goat ranching couple who see their dreams coated in oil from a broken
pipeline. They respond by organizing against fossil fuel extraction in their
beloved Powder River Basin, and forming a new alliance with the Northern
Cheyenne tribe to bring solar power to the nearby reservation.
Melachrini, a housewife in Northern Greece where economic crisis is being used to
justify mining and drilling projects that threaten the mountains, seas, and
tourism economy. Against the backdrop of Greece in crisis, a powerful social
movement rises.
Jyothi, a matriarch in
Andhra Pradesh, India who sings sweetly and battles fiercely along with her
fellow villagers, fighting a proposed coal-fired power plant that will destroy
a life-giving wetland. In the course of this struggle, they help ignite a
nationwide movement.
The extraordinary detail and richness of the
cinematography in This Changes Everythingprovides an epic canvas for
this exploration of the greatest challenge of our time. Unlike many works about
the climate crisis, this is not a film that tries to scare the audience into
action: it aims to empower. Provocative, compelling, and accessible to even the
most climate-fatigued viewers, This Changes Everything will
leave you refreshed and inspired, reflecting on the ties between us, the kind
of lives we really want, and why the climate crisis is at the centre of it all.
Will this film change everything? Absolutely not. But
you could, by answering its call to action.
