Directors/Producers: Nadia Gill, Dominic Gill
Description:
What does it actually take to change minds from the inside? For four years, the filmmakers followed four Republicans doing something their party’s leadership wouldn’t–taking climate change seriously, in public, at real personal cost. Not because they abandoned their conservatism, but because they took it seriously. This is not a story about politics but about courage, community and what happens when conviction runs up against tribal loyalty–and refuses to blink.Biography:
