The Climate Crisis Film That Focuses on the Big, Moral, Human Stuff

In the year 2055 - now a ravaged, war-torn, flooded world - an unnamed archivist, played by Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite, is entrusted with the safekeeping of humanity's surviving store of art and knowledge. Alone in his offshore repository, he reviews archive footage from back "when we could have saved ourselves," trying to discern where it all went wrong. Amid news reports of the gathering effects of climate change and global civilization teetering towards destruction, he alights on the stories of seven individuals whose lives in the early years of the 21st century seem to illustrate aspects of the impending catastrophe. These stories take the form of interweaving documentary segments that report on the lives of real people in the present, and switch the film's narrative from fiction to fact.
