From the article: “Athletes are helping to promote a new film about the crisis, reaching people ‘in a way that scientific reports never will’”
This film is just out in the UK, and other countries are planning to copy its approach to get widespread government action on the climate and nature crisis.
It spearheads a major, well-backed push to tell the British public about the serious, imminent risks to the UK from the crisis – and to get action on the solutions that we have in our hands to fix it, if we act fast enough.
It aims to break through the silence and disinformation and create an irresistible call to the British Government to put out a prime-time, televised, national emergency briefing on the crisis, mount a genuine, WW2-scale emergency response, and lead internationally.
The film is powerful, energising and entertaining, and includes names well-known in the UK such as Chris Packham and Jennifer Saunders reacting Gogglebox-style to footage of expert briefings.
For now, it can only be seen at community screenings, followed by a discussion, with the local Member of Parliament always invited – so that the community can come up with a response together.
Thousands of screenings are in the pipeline, big NGOs with millions of members are backing it, cathedral showings are planned, and the aim is to get the film shown over and over in every constituency across the UK to get the cat out of the bag.
To make it happen, people can write to their MP asking them the join the Parliamentary Call to the Government to act; go to a screening and take others with them; host a screening; and get the word out as widely as possible.
