About this film

Highly acclaimed director of THE PRISON IN TWELVE LANDSCAPES, Brett Story, returns with this portrait of collective anxiety. Told as a series of vignette interviews during a single month in NYC where hurricanes, wildfires, and heatwaves are ravaging the country, this True/False selection selection provides a perfect snapshot of the current moment, where so much about the future of the planet seems unclear.
