THE MESSAGE is a multi-platform project that combines an award-winning team of storytellers, a provocative thesis that will change how we take on the climate crisis, a profoundly moving feature documentary, and an ambitious engagement strategy.

LONG SYNOPSIS

Based on ideas drawn from Naomi Klein’s forthcoming non-fiction book, The Message will show why the deep changes required to tackle climate change should not be viewed as a punishment to fear, but as a kind of gift. Climate change offers us a chance to solve the ecological and economic crises simultaneously, averting ecological chaos by changing an economic model that’s already in need of serious transformation. The world doesn’t need another climate film, it needs another kind of climate film. The Message offers a hopeful and transformative vision, combining an exploration of big ideas with inspiring front-line stories from communities around the world who are fighting climate change by reclaiming their economies.
