Close the Divide Synopsis

It might be a stretch to call it a "feel-good" climate change film, but Thomas Acton’s Close the Divide is at least an attempt to balance the dire predicament the world faces with a dispassionate assessment of what’s already happening to mitigate the worst; celebrate game-changing technological developments; and suggest that reframing our expectations might be the most important first step we can take. Acton talks to energy experts, climate analysts, psychologists, businessmen and behavioural scientists to persuade us to reexamine our ideas and put polarization aside.
