“This Changes Everything” – at The Loft

THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING – an Avi Lewis film, narrated and inspired by the book by Naomi Klein. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING had its world premiere 3 weeks ago at the Toronto International Film Festival and its New York premiere on October 2. It opens in Los Angeles and other North American cities this Friday, October 9. Canadian Naomi Klein, a secular Jew and one of the world’s most high-profile social activists, was recruited by Pope Francis to a summer 2015 papal Climate Change Economy team. Klein’s work with the papal climate/economy team manifested last week when Pope Francis addressed the US Congress and UN General Assembly on the climate/economy crisis. An International Summit Conference on Climate Change convenes in Paris on Nov 30, 2015 and the world’s nations will meet to debate what some people believe to be the greatest challenge facing civilization. Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron (GRAVITY) is executive producer. TCE and this film’s production values reflect his influence. I believe THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to be sufficiently important to give it The Loft screen exclusively this Thanksgiving weekend. Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and now head of the Bank of England said last week in a speech in London that global climate change is the biggest problem facing mankind and business leaders must address it. Our political leadership candidates may prefer to avert their eyes and attention from THE big challenge but I think it’s time we all get informed. THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING gets The Loft screen exclusively this Thanksgiving weekend:
