Produced by Sienna Films Productions VI Inc. in co-production with the National Film Board of Canada. Produced with the participation of the Canadian Television Fund created by the Government of Canada and the Canadian Cable Industry CTF: Licence Fee Program with the participation of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
For many, global warming is something that is happening somewhere else to
other people, but for millions of people, it is right at their doorstep. Weather
Report journeys across the globe—from the Canadian Arctic to Northern
Kenya, from the U.S. Midwest to China and India—visiting communities where
lives and livelihoods are being affected in dramatic ways.
Putting a face to the reality of global warming, the film illuminates
the impact of recent climate change, delivering a new perspective to audiences
worldwide. The question is no longer whether climate change is happening, but
whether we can respond to the emergency before it's too late.
