“Climate change is the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced – and it is also our greatest opportunity. We have the solutions we need, but we are in a race against the clock to implement them in time.” - Time To Choose

The above quote perfectly sums up the importance and necessity of seeing Oscar-winning documentary director Charles Ferguson’s newest film “Time To Choose.” The film delivers a very clear and powerful message to audiences: we CAN take action to stop this global threat, we ALREADY have the solutions, and the time to act is NOW.

As a movie lover and climate activist, what I appreciated most about the film is that it focuses on solutions and taking action. It’s not a doom and gloom, ‘omg the world is going to end’ kind of film, but a ‘hey! we can fix this problem, let’s step up to the challenge and do something about it, oh and here’s HOW!’ kind of film.

It’s exactly what we all need right now.
