 89 min.\n\nFilmed 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.\n\nDirected by Avi Lewis, and 
 inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction bestseller This 
 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.\n\nInterwoven 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.\n\nOver the course of 90 minutes, viewers will meet…\n\nCrystal, 
 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.\n\nMike 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.\n\nMelachrini, 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.\n\nJyothi, 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.\n\nThe 
 extraordinary detail and richness of the cinematography in This Changes 
 Everything provides 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.\n\nWill 
 this film change everything? Absolutely not. But you could, by answering 
 its call to action.\n
