The rumble of a forest fire approaches. The smell of the air changes as a rainstorm gathers pace. Witnesses to another environmental phenomenon pick up their phones to share this moment with the world. Drawing from thousands of hours of in-the-moment footage, Emmy Award – winning filmmakers Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel chronicle the year 2021: a pivotal chapter in the fight against our new climate reality. Seen through the eyes of everyday people around the world, The Here Now Project transforms the common act of shooting a cell phone video into an act of resistance. Evoking our sense of agency and celebrating our power as a population, the film captures the simultaneous, global nature of climate change and highlights the deeply human resilience, resourcefulness and courage needed to confront it. At once epic and intimate, its message is clear: We’re all in this, together.
