FILM DESCRIPTION: Filmed over four years of hope and crisis, “To the End” captures the emergence of a new generation of leaders and the movement behind the most sweeping climate change legislation in U.S. history. The award-winning team follows four exceptional young women— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas—as they grapple with new challenges of leadership and power and work together to defend their generation’s right to a future. From street protests to the halls of Congress, these bold leaders fight to shift the narrative around climate, revealing the crisis as an opportunity to build a better society. Including up-to-the-minute footage that culminates in 2022’s landmark climate bill, “To the End” lifts the veil on the battle for the future of our world, and gives audiences a front seat view of history in the making.

AWARDS: 1) 2022 Winner Best Documentary Feature, Crested Butte Film Festival. 2) 2022 Nominee F:ACT Award, CPH:DOX. 3) 2022 Nominee Global Health Competition, Cleveland International Film Festival.

Teens and young adults encouraged to attend.

Post-film discussion will be streamed to virtual watch party and to in person locations at Haymarket Pub and The Well Spirituality Center.
