YOUTH V GOV – Virtual Screening
APR 25 3:00PM CDT
The saddest story ever told of our nation’s failure to rise to the moment, this doc is a desperate wake-up call pleading for a better future. Our children are growing up in an unprecedented time of fear, dread, and anxiety over the effects climate change has on the world they’re soon to inherit. They’re facing extreme weather, drought, famine, and illness – consequences of a series of choices they never made. Twenty-one courageous leaders join forces to file a ground-breaking lawsuit against the U.S. government, asserting it has willfully acted over six decades to create the climate crisis, thus endangering their innate rights to life, liberty, and property. The question before the courts: Do young people actually have constitutional rights to a climate that sustains life? The evidence they’ve gathered is compelling.
