Looking for a way to bring people together to talk about climate change and other associated issues - like how to preserve human mental health when we live in cities or how we can feed our fellow humans without destroying the very nature on which we depend - without being swamped with negativity and depressing stats? How to Live on Earth may be just the ticket (and best of all the ticket is free!).
Presented by Benedict Cumberbatch, the movie shares stories from a climate activist, a chef as well as a field biologist that explore the food we eat, indigenous knowledge, the impacts of mining and more.
Launched on September 20th the freely available documentary has already racked up 3.7 million views in 9 days. The 96 minute video is full of beautiful images and hopeful stories that also don’t sugarcoat the challenges we face. You can watch it on YouTube or get together with a group and host a screening.
The movie has a ton of material to help you spread (and personalize) the messaging that surrounds it as well as ideas for taking action.
Why grab your favourite movie-watching snack to enjoy this movie or talk to climate organizations in your town and see if you could arrange a public screening.
