This Changes Everything (2015)
Director: Avi Lewis
Run time: 90 min.
Call number: HC79.E5 T48 2015
"Serving as a visual companion to narrator Naomi Klein's book, this is a survey of international activism in the face of those environmental inconvenient truths. It travels from Alberta's Tar Sands to the South India site of a proposed power plant to financially strapped Halkidiki, Greece, to smog-choked Beijing. . . . Klein and those impassioned protesters provide something that has been in short supply in the predecessors — namely, a modicum of hope for the future."
