From its opening moments, This Changes Everything wants to set itself apart from all those other climate change documentaries you may have seen.
“Can I be honest with you? I’ve always kinda hated films about climate change,” says Naomi Klein, the narrator and author of the book upon which the documentary is based. Klein sets up her thesis early about how this documentary sets itself apart, and a slew of famous producers like Alfonso Cuarón and Seth MacFarlane join in.
Deadline: When Charles Dudley Warner said “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it,” he was joking, but he might as well have been talking to people living in the era of global climate change. The problem is huge and often looks insurmountable, but This Changes Everything, a new documentary premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, aims to change that.
