This changes everything

Free Community Screening
Venue:  South Wagga Public School Hall

Everyone is very welcome at this screening of a major contribution to the climate change debate prior to its  commercial cinema release in Australia. It is scheduled to precede the world-wide People's Climate March being  held at 12.00 noon on Sunday 29 November, assembling at Station Place and marching down Baylis Street to Michael McCormack’s office.

This Changes Everything is an epic documentary about everyday people responding to the impacts of climate  change. Directed by Avi Lewis and inspired by Naomi Klein's international bestseller, This Changes Everything: Capitalism versus the Climate, it looks at the catastrophic consequences of capitalism through the eyes of
seven diverse 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.

“With This Changes Everything, a documentary by Lewis and a book by Klein, the duo has reshaped the narrative of climate change. They've dispensed with the alarmist rhetoric surrounding the debate; instead, they focus on a story of resilience, community and change. The result is galvanizing. Unlike other climate documentaries, Lewis' manages to avoid leaving the audience to feel helpless in the face of inevitable destruction. It chronicles the front lines of climate change social justice, bringing us into a movement bolstered by thousands of people around the world and affecting serious change.” (Indiewire Review).
