How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can’t Change
With his trademark humor and banjo in hand, Josh Fox travels to 12 countries on six continents and acknowledges that we can’t stop the worst consequences of climate change. The film asks though, “What is it that climate change can’t destroy? What is so deep within us that no calamity can take it away?” The film highlights courage, resilience, and innovation as the ideals that must survive.
