Gather round, climate enthusiasts and film buffs alike! The timely documentary Climate Changers will be coming to cinemas nationally in September after its world premiere at the 2023 Sydney Film Festival.
The film follows Chief Climate Councillor Professor Tim Flannery, renowned scientist and a leading voice for climate action change, as he searches for the missing ingredient in our fight against climate change – leadership.
“For a long time, there has been a gap in climate leadership. I wanted to dig deeper; work out why we are so lacking in climate leaders, and talk about how we can tackle this challenge,” Professor Flannery said.
“I met with some incredible minds during the making of this film: people who are out there doing incredible work. I hope some of the ideas explored can empower policy-makers and the broader population to instigate the changes we so desperately need.”
