There are so many ways that each person can truly impact the fight against climate change. For some, it is about actively using as little carbon footprint as possible, while others take a more active stance in fighting the system. The journey of a respected writer and environmental activist, Paul Kingsnorth, is shown in this documentary. You will be able to learn more about his work and thoughts on many aspects of the battle against climate change.
At the onset of the film, you will learn briefly about Paul’s journey as an activist and how he has evolved to become the person that he is now. He also shared his thoughts about how the politics and economies are attempting to shift focus towards sustainability. Paul also shared that these are all about the kind of mindset that people are convinced into. It makes people believe that steps are being taken to care for the environment but are tricked by economies instead.
The film also featured beautiful scenery that highlights the reasons that Paul Kingsnorth has long fought for. The narration described the factors that caused Paul and his family to lead a more laid back life in Ireland. It also featured how they are raising their family based on the same principles they believe in.
The life that Paul leads is very idyllic for an activist who has admittedly retired from all the action. His admission that he can no longer fight the system was reinforced with the way he is now leading his life. In his own way, the film showed that living close to nature and being sustained by it is possible. Truly, this is an inspiration for many individuals who choose to pick the battle against climate change their way. In the end, the fate of Mother Earth would come down to our contributions.
