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.
