In recognition of Earth Day, April 22 watch Jennifer Abbott’s award-winning documentary The Magnitude of All Things.
In partnership with The Climate Reality Project and Sunset Labs, join us for a screening and Q&A with filmmaker in attendance.
The award-winning documentary The Magnitude of All Things merges stories from the frontlines of climate change with recollections of the loss of her sister, drawing intimate parallels between personal and planetary grief.
When Jennifer Abbott lost her sister to cancer, her sorrow opened her up to the profound gravity of climate breakdown. Abbott’s new documentary draws intimate parallels between the experiences of grief—both personal and planetary. Stories from the frontlines of climate change merge with recollections from the filmmaker’s childhood on Ontario’s Georgian Bay. For the people featured, climate change is not happening in the distant future: it is kicking down the front door. Battles waged, lamentations of loss, and raw testimony coalesce into an extraordinary tapestry, woven together with raw emotion and staggering beauty that transform darkness into light, grief into action.
The film will be launched nation-wide on CBC-Gem and on the NFB website on Earth Day April 22nd.
Come celebrate with us April 21st at 4:00pm (Doors Open) film at 4:15pm.
