[UPDATE Dec 8, 2016: The full documentary is now private – hope you saw it when it was free]
That’s what I said right before sitting rapt for an hour and a half watching the new climate change documentary, Before the Flood: “can we just watch the beginning of this?”. I thought I knew what it was going to be (i.e. a celebrity vanity project) and what it would be about (i.e. we’re screwed). Certainly I knew all the facts presented, individually, one way or another. But this documentary puts them together in a way that hits hard, and meaningfully. It spurred an immediate conversation of what we will do differently at home, and how our respective work aims to contribute. The documentary has only been viewed 3.5 million times so far, but at least that’s a million more than when I watched it last night. I hope it gets picked up by the American voters in advance of this critical election. I dare you to try and just watch the beginning…
