The documentary The Here Now Project shines a light on the climate crisis by way of footage from real experiences of everyday people dealing with the impact of climate change. Several area groups have worked to make the film available to the Northland community.
From 9am on May 29th through 11:59pm on June 5th, The Here Now Project can be viewed for free thanks to local groups who've taken efforts to give the documentary a wider reach. "The two main groups are Climate Duluth which has been a climate platform for about the last six years," says Tone Lanzillo, one of the local community members behind bringing the film to Duluth. "The other main group is a regional group that comprises of people in the US and Canada called the Lake Superior Living Labs Network."
The film takes care to avoid opinion and politics. The content is presented as is without additional narration or talking heads. "The producers, when I spoke to them, said they didn't want to bring politics into the picture, left and right, it's just focusing on the personal experiences of everyday people," says Lanzillo.
To view the 76-minute-long documentary, visit the Film Platform website and use the registration code: THN-DLH
You can hear Green Visions at 8:20am every Wednesday on Northland Morning.
