I've finally got around to curating a selection of films about the #climate crisis 🎥
There's lot of mediocre climate films out there, but for me these stand out head & shoulders above the rest 🎞️
They make excellent resources for classrooms, lecture halls, or community cinema's 🎬

I picked up the 1855 Patent Office Report on Agriculture at the antique store. It has some beautiful writing on climate you would like @michaelemann.bsky.social. One of the first reports by our government on our climate change actions?

The Forbidden Garden by @simonparkin.bsky.social should be required 2025 reading. It’s a story of what happens when the government attacks science and the people that sacrificed their life to protect it for all of us. @barackobama.bsky.social you’d like it.
