EMERGENCE
​
The alarm bells are ringing: we are in the midst of a global climate emergency. EMERGENCE is a feature documentary which explores how to survive, thrive, and transform the climate crisis, from the perspectives of women at the forefront. EMERGENCE will be both a survival guide and a call to unleash our collective imagination through the first-hand stories of women who have lived through climate disasters, first responders, public leaders, and change makers. We see communities coming together, expressive arts as a way of healing, and youth preparing for what is ahead.
Filmed in various locations in British Columbia, and Yellowknife, NWT, we hear from women who have lived through wildfires, floods, and extreme heat. Woven throughout are the poems written and spoken by Meghan Fandrich, from her collection “Burning Sage - Poems from the Lytton Fire.”
Humanity needs to create an unprecedented transformation in the way we live both as individuals and as a society, in an incredibly short period of time - a global emergency response for the sake of our survival. EMERGENCE will be essential viewing in this time of climate code red.
EMERGENCE features dramatic footage of climate events such as floods, fires and storms as the subjects convey what they went through, how they have been impacted. As the film progresses, what emerges is a path to resilience, healing, and hope, and how to navigate our way forward in this era of climate emergency.
