City Hall Arts Center
For the past two decades researchers, activists, scientists and progressive politicians have struggled to rouse the public and the federal government to take action on global warming. Concurrently, naysayers, industry-funded think tanks and lobbyists have worked tirelessly to challenge, convolute and dismiss the issue as hysterical. This film, directed by Daniel B. Gold (who narrates) and Judith Helfand (BLUE VINYL), tells the harrowing story of what it takes to talk about global warming — the art of duking it out with collective denial, the struggle to communicate the urgency of the crisis to an indifferent public and a laggard United States government. We follow a cadre of messengers who are passionate, exasperated, driven by fear, hope and a deep appreciation for the ever shrinking window of time we have to stop global warming. Post-film event: directors Daniel Gold and Judith Helfand will appear after the Friday, March 28 and Saturday, March 29 shows. Sponsored by Washington Electric Coop. Community Partners: Vermont Public Interest Research Group, Peace and Justice Center. No rating, 89 minutes. Film website
