Documentary, “This Changes Everything”

April 3, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Documentary title: "This Changes Everything" with the world on fire with hands holding the world

North Kohala Public Library will present the environmental documentary film, “This Changes Everything.” at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 3. This special film showing is possible through the cooperation of the Sierra Club.

Directed by Avi Lewis, and inspired by Naomi Klein’s international non-fiction bestseller, This Changes Everything presents seven powerful portraits of communities on the front lines, from Montana’s Powder River Basin to the Alberta Tar Sands, from the coast of South India to Beijing and beyond.

Interwoven with these stories of struggle is Klein’s narration, connecting the carbon in the air with the economic system that put it there. Throughout the film, Klein builds to her most controversial and exciting idea:that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better.”

Filmed over 211 shoot days in nine countries and five continents over four years, This Changes Everything is an epic attempt to re-imagine the vast challenge of climate change.

Call the North Kohala Public Library at 889-6655 for more information. Program schedule is subject to change. Contact the library 15 days in advance if a sign language interpreter or other special accommodation is required.
