About This Movie

Temperature Rising presents a raw and urgent look at climate activism in the wake of COP26 and COP27. Jacqueline van Meygaarden does a remarkable job capturing the tension and determination of activists who are fighting against seemingly insurmountable barriers. The film’s pacing keeps you engaged, moving between interviews and on-the-ground actions that pull you into the atmosphere of activism. It’s not just about the statistics or the science; it really humanizes the struggle, showing how interconnected we all are in this fight. There's a sense of raw urgency, yet also camaraderie among the activists. The practical effects are minimal, given it’s a documentary, but the real-life stakes make every moment count, creating a powerful emotional pull.
