The film focuses on individuals who risk almost everything for their activism-jobs, families, freedom. Has your perspective on climate change shifted after watching the film? We need to jump in, take to the streets, make our voices heard and do whatever we can to try to turn this around and create a livable world for future generations. There is no more time to wait and see if someone will come along and miraculously save us. Everything we love can be lost if we ignore climate change and go about our lives. The difference between the subjects in this film and most people on this planet, is that these folks are taking action, these people can’t tune out the problem. I would like people watching The Race To Save The World to say to themselves, if Aji at age 15, or Miriam at age 72, or Bill or Abby or Michael in between, can do what they are doing, then I can do something. What are you hoping viewers will gain from this film? I felt that these activists’ passion and unwavering commitment to draw attention to the climate crisis will inspire and energize viewers to get involved and make their voices heard for a livable future. I decided to follow regular people who are in the trenches doing all they can to try to turn this around, people who see the danger coming and are not willing to tune it out and go about their lives. Those films can be so overwhelming and depressing that viewers feel hopeless watching them. I felt that many films about climate change focus on how bad things are and how much worse they will get. I wanted to make a film about people fighting climate change. What inspired you to make this documentary?

I spoke directly with the director, Joe Gatz. The film also follows a group of people who walked 3,000 miles across the country to raise awareness for climate change, including a 72-year-old woman named Miriam Kashia. The activists in the film include Abby Brockman, who is arrested after 8 hours for blocking a train transporting oil Michael Foster, who is arrested for shutting a valve on the Keystone Pipeline Bill Moyer, a “kayaktivist” who along with 200 other people, used his kayak to block the floating oil rig called the Polar Pioneer from being sent to the Arctic to drill Aji Piper, who along with other teens in the state of Washington, sued the state for violating their constitutional rights by failing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect them from the impacts of climate change. Instead, it uses human stories to illuminate the fight for climate action in a new way. Unlike other films on climate change, The Race to Save the World doesn’t focus on science statistics. The film follows the lives of climate activists who are prepared to sacrifice everything in order to raise awareness for climate change-their lives, families, mental health and even their freedom. The Race to Save the World is a new documentary film by Emmy-Award winning director, Joe Gatz.
