Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges appears in a handout photo from the film"Living in the Future's Past," which he produced and narrated. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Beachwood Entertainment CollectiveVANCOUVER -- Academy Award-winning actor Jeff Bridges wanted to avoid making a climate change documentary that only preached to the converted -- he wanted to reach and speak to people who didn't already care about the issue.
"But I don't think we can wait for the government to be enlightened with what our scientists are telling us. I think it's got to trickle up, if it's trickling anywhere. I think we all have to take action." The pair discovered they were interested in why humans as a species were responding the way they were to climate change. As a result, the film interrogates how evolution, history and psychology have shaped our reaction to the unfolding crisis.
The film showcases a wide range of prominent scientists and authors. Yet one of the most refreshing voices is former Republican congressman Bob Inglis, who argues caring about the environment is not at odds with a conservative or religious identity. Carol Linnitt, who co-founded online news outlet The Narwhal and directed "Coal Valley," said documentaries allow storytellers to delve deeper into an issue and often the outlet's films reach an audience far beyond its regular readership.
Keith Scholey, series producer of the lush Netflix nature documentary "Our Planet," said the filmmakers created a website, OurPlanet.com, to give viewers more details about solutions, and they're also screening the show for global decision makers.
REPLAY: I like TheJeffBridges; mentioning him alongside algore & IPCC_CH's impending doom piece on (false) 'global warming' (a.k.a. 'climate change' in the MSM narrative) makes your article = sharticle. Google 'climate cyclicity'; stop the FRAUD! FYI:cathmckenna peikko763
Oh, well if Jeff Bridges says it....
if he means like the 'trickle down' Economy, he's dreaming!!
I didn’t know he was a scientist specializing in climate as well as an actor....
Says the guy with a 9500 sqft house🙄
Old Jeff should maybe sweep his own step off before he tells us how to live our lives 🤔
Jeff picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
fuck when was the last time he made a good movie.....looks like someone putting in two cents trying to stay relevant
The elite and rich love to preach to the middle class and lower. As if we’re the ones flying around the world in private jets, owning yachts, fancy sports cars, living a life of fuel filled luxury. I can barely afford to go out on wkds due to gas prices so I stay home. Wtf 🤦🏻♂️
Maybe Jeff could start in his own backyard !!
Yeah, if there's one thing that's going to make me care about an issue, it's more finger-wagging from Hollywood. 🙄
Who listens to Hollywood?
