The work of simply reducing one’s personal carbon footprint has long comforted consumers around the world, all while putting unfair pressure on individuals for a crisis caused primarily by industrial emissions. However, some individual decisions do have the potential to create the structural change needed to take away power from those very corporations trying to convince us that the climate crisis can be solved by renouncing plastic straws or buying “sustainable” fashion. ________ Director & Producer Fátima González-Torres (IG: @fatilugonzalevic) Creative directors Sina Samavati (IG: @sinasamavati) and Pako Quijada (IG: @pakoquijada) Script Fátima González-Torres and Joshua Gottlieb (IG: @joshigot) Research lead Ceri Flook, Fátima González-Torres, and Joshua Gottlieb Script editing Joshua Gottlieb Cinematographers Sina Samavati, Pako Quijada, Shane Thomas McMillan (IG: @dokumentarian) Editing & post-production Sina Samavati Motion graphics & animation Sina Samavati and Pako Quijada ________ Punch keys to plant trees!
