This is your chance to sponsor a brand new documentary about climate change (and more) called Beyond the Brink: a young filmmaker's take on the climate change debate. By doing so you can help engage, inform and inspire people about climate change and help break down some of the myths surrounding the issue.
18-year-old Ross Harrison spent a year chasing up experts, studying the news and filming to create a short documentary that answers the ever-pressing questions, 'Are we really causing climate change?' and 'Who cares?'
The result is a 40 minute film about the knowns and the unknowns of the science, about the risks, and about being hopeful for the future too. Interviews with Sir David Attenborough, Mark Lynas, David Shukman, Prof Dieter Helm, the UK Youth Climate Coalition, and Ross' grandparents among others, offer fresh perspectives on a subject that saturates the media, divides the public, and yet is still meaningless to many.
At a time when people feel overloaded by hype and put off by scandals, Beyond the Brink seeks to lay out how things really stand now.
Ross said, "I don't want the film to just gather dust on my shelf. I want people to be able to put it to good use - it could be used by schools, colleges, community groups, individuals... anyone. The plan is to make it available to download for free at www.beyondthebrink.org, but we need your support to make that happen!"
