Climate of Change (Brian Hill, UK, 2010)
Recently screened at the Tribeca Film Festival, this important and informative documentary by renowned British documentary filmmaker, Brian Hill, takes us on a journey to India, Africa, Papua New Guinea, London, United States (West Virginia, Appalachia), and Norway, to shows us how communities across the world are rising to the challenge of climate change.
“…a rich and inspiring documentary… [which] takes us around the world to find the ordinary people taking action in the fight to save our environment. Driving Climate of Change is the beautiful narration written by British poet Simon Armitage and mellifluously voiced by Tilda Swinton. “We are the renters of this world, not its masters,” reminds Pooshkar, a precocious 13-year-old member of a youth environmental defense group in India.” – Tribeca Film Festival
