DISRUPTION.
CLIMATE. CHANGE.
SYNOPSIS:
“When it comes to climate change, why do
we do so little when we know so much?”
Through a relentless investigation to
find the answer, Disruption takes an
unflinching look at the devastating
consequences of our inaction. The
exploration lays bare the terrifying
science, the shattered political
process, the unrelenting industry
special interests and the civic stasis
that have brought us to this social,
moral and ecological crossroads.The
film also takes us behind-the-scenes
of the efforts to organize the largest
climate rally in the history of the
planet during the UN world climate
summit.This is the story of our
unique moment in history. We are
living through an age of tipping
points and rapid social and planetary
change. We’re the first generation to
feel the impacts of climate
disruption, and the last generation
that can do something about it. The
film enlarges the issue beyond
climate impacts and makes a
compelling call for bold action that is
strong enough to tip the balance to
build a clean energy future.
Please note: we meet in the ZEF Reception Area (next to Conference Halls) at 18h15 for drinks, and the
film starts at 18h30. This screening coincides with the opening day of a 3-day ZEF/WASCAL conference
on ‘Climate Change in Africa: Negotiations, translations, and socio-political implications’.
