The film begins in the year 2055. In a ravaged, war-torn and flooded world, where an unnamed archivist (Pete Postlethwaite) is entrusted with the safekeeping of humanity’s surviving store of art and knowledge. Alone in his offshore repository, he reviews archive footage from back “when we could have saved ourselves”, trying to discern where it all went wrong. Amid news reports of the gathering effects of climate change and global civilisation teetering towards destruction, he alights on six stories of individuals whose lives in the early years of the 21st century seem to illustrate aspects of the impending catastrophe. These six stories take the form of interweaving documentary segments, which report on the lives of real people:
Al Duvernay, a resident of New Orleans who stayed behind and helped in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina. He reflects on what it feels like to have had all his possessions washed away in the flood, and also on his job in the oil industry and how valuable resources are being wasted.
Indian business man Jehangir Wadia talks about the start-up of his low cost airline GoAir and his democratic desire to see all people, rich and poor, able to afford air travel.
Two Iraqi children, Jamila and Adnan, who fled with their family to Jordan during the Iraq War, tell the story of their father’s death and their concern for the older brother they left behind.
An English family take a tour of the Mont Blanc glacier in France – their guide is 82-year-old Fernand Pareau, a local who has seen the glacier recede massively in his lifetime. The guide is also shown taking action against expanding road infrastructure in his area. Read more
