Survival in the age of climate change is a matter of speed
In short: This documentary investigates how global communities are transitioning from climate warnings to active survival strategies. It explores real-world responses to water scarcity, food insecurity, and energy crises to determine if humanity is ready for the coming shift.
Cyril Dion travels globally to document diverse adaptation strategies. Key examples include Cape Town's narrow escape from "Day Zero"—a point of total water depletion—and Cuba's transition to local agriculture and urban farming following the collapse of the Soviet Union's food systems.
The film highlights technological and community-based solutions, such as solar panels in Bangladesh and disaster-recovery living in Austria. The central thesis suggests that true resilience involves more than just enduring a crisis; it requires learning to live fundamentally differently in the aftermath.
