The one-hour documentary film ‘Climate Changers‘ follows acclaimed Australian scientist and writer Tim Flannery as he searches for the missing ingredient in our fight against climate change – leadership.
Where are the climate leaders who will drive change? How might they succeed where others have failed? Tim Flannery poses these questions as he meets global leaders from the corridors of power and frontlines of climate change.
Climate Changers delves into what frustrates Tim, what motivates him, and where he believes the solutions lie to humanity’s greatest challenge.

“Any leader, presented with the devastating events of this summer, who continues to feel that rallying the public around a genuine climate emergency plan is too politically risky, is not a leader fit for these times.”
~ Seth Klein, leader of the Climate Emergency Unit in Canada
