A documentary that dares to say what no one else will
this Earth Day — that we are losing the battle to stop
climate change on planet earth because we are following
leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling
out the green movement to wealthy interests and
corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the
reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a
human-caused extinction event, the environmental
movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and
band-aids. It's too little, too late.
Removed from the debate is the only thing that MIGHT
save us: getting a grip on our out-of-control human
presence and consumption. Why is this not THE issue?
Because that would be bad for profits, bad for business.
Have we environmentalists fallen for illusions, “green”
illusions, that are anything but green, because we’re
scared that this is the end—and we’ve pinned all our
hopes on biomass, wind turbines, and electric cars?
No amount of batteries are going to save us, warns
director Jeff Gibbs (lifelong environmentalist and
co-producer of “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Bowling for
Columbine"). This urgent, must-see movie, a full-frontal
assault on our sacred cows, is guaranteed to generate
anger, debate, and, hopefully, a willingness to see our
survival in a new way—before it’s too late.
