Two of the northern rivers’ most experienced documentary makers have joined forces to produce an ambitious feature film with a climate-change focus, titled 2 Degrees. They have been running a crowd-funding campaign to raise funds to enable them finish this documentary and are calling on anyone concerned about the environment to help.
There are no polar bears or melting icebergs in this film – considered too depressing.
2 Degrees depicts two epic struggles in the fight against climate change: firstly, attempts to save the world’s tropical forests (‘the lungs of the Earth’) via what Canin believes is the flawed UN negotiation process and, secondly, a grassroots campaign in the South Australian town of Port Augusta to replace dirty coal-fired power stations with a new technology called solar thermal.
