Climate Film: Necessity

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The San Francisco Public Library launches July’s Everybody’s Climate film series with a screening of the two-part documentary Necessity 

As Indigenous leaders and Native and non-Native activists respond to the growing climate emergency and are charged with trespassing, legal strategies in the climate movement increasingly take center stage. From the Mississippi Headwaters, wild rice fields and Great Lakes in Part I to the rivers and mountains of the Columbia River Gorge in Part II, awe-inspiring terrains become sites of coordinated resistance to the corporate promotion of oil. New alliances form around shared commitments to save the planet. 

Directors: Jan Haaken, Samantha Praus 

NR, 120 mins., 2020. Closed captions (CC) in English. 

Everybody’s Climate 2025: Connect with others to address the climate crisis in ways that are meaningful to you, from poetry and music to science and practical action.
