From the streets of Brooklyn to the forests of Siberia, a relentless
barrage of fires, floods, and storms made devastatingly clear that the extreme
weather climate scientists had been predicting for half a century had arrived.
Now, in a production of unprecedented scope, Emmy-winning filmmakers Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel chronicle that pivotal year through the eyes of
everyday people around the world. Built out of thousands of hours of
in-the-moment footage—no narration, no talking heads—The Here Now Project transforms
the ordinary act of shooting a cell phone video into the radical act of bearing
witness, capturing both the simultaneous, global nature of climate change
itself and the deeply human resilience, resourcefulness, and courage needed to
confront it. At once intimate, epic, immersive, and inspiring, the film is a
wake-up call to the world from the world. The
message: we’re all in this, together. (2024, 75 mins)
