Come see the film that sold out its two Minneapolis based screenings last fall, based on the best-selling book by Naomi Klein, This Changes Everything,Capitalism vs the Climate. Here is what the New York Times Book Review had to say about the book: “A book of such ambition and consequence that it is almost unreviewable … the most momentous and contentious environmental book since “Silent Spring.”
The film follows people on the front lines around the world coming face to face with the impact of capitalism on our planet and shows "that we can seize the existential crisis of climate change to transform our failed economic system into something radically better".
