A film screening and discussion of “This Changes Everything” will be at 5 p.m. Dec. 9 in Room 319 Gregory Hall. Directed by Avi Lewis and inspired by Naomi Klein’s international nonfiction bestseller of the same title, the film presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines of climate change – from Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond. 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.
The screening is sponsored by Social Dimensions of Environmental Policy, a campuswide program for the social analysis of environmental and sustainability challenges, supported by the School of Earth, Society and the Environment; the department of geography and geographic information sciences; and the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research.
