Overview

In the past six hours, 94% of Brits have spoken about the weather. In the past five years, 7000 Brits have been arrested for speaking out about the climate crisis. This short film, starring Michael Sheen, has been developed with young farmers and colleges in rural Norfolk. It questions why it’s so hard for us to have meaningful conversations about climate change. Told through the eyes of a child grappling with climate anxiety, the film explores the cost of British small talk and encourages audiences to elevate their daily habits into tools for meaningful change.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A piercing five-minute reflection on our collective avoidance of climate reality, seen through a child's eyes, that moves from discomfort to a quiet call for action. It's a short that makes you reckon with the gap between what we say and what we do.
