Plot

This ambitious drama-documentary-animation hybrid stars Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching "archive" footage from the present day and asking: why didn't we stop climate change while we still had the chance? The action weaves together six real human stories from around the world and examines the stark choices facing us all. 

Jeh is an airline owner in India whose aim is to move even the poorest of his countrymen from the trains to the skies. After all, why shouldn't Indians consume like Europeans? But can economics expand indefinitely? And how much CO2 does each flight emit?

Lafeya, a Nigerian trainee doctor living in Africa's richest oil region, sees many children dying from lack of clean water. Does oil extraction have to cause so much suffering? Where did all the oil money go?
