People’s Emergency Briefing Film Screening
About the Film
The 50-minute film will combine authoritative scientific content from the Westminster event with reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces – designed to help audiences process the information on a more human level. It will deliver the frank facts about the threats, but also the enormous benefits if Government leads genuine emergency action.
Many of those attending the event commented that although the facts are alarming, they felt a sense of optimism about confronting the challenge together and seeing a pathway to a better future. View testimonials.
The film was conceived and developed by Ben Carey and Henrik Delehag at climate comms lab Utopia Bureau, and directed by Marcus Jones.
