Weather Report - Directed by Brenda Longfellow. There are places in the world where climate change is not an abstract notion, but a factor in the daily weather report.  Weather Report journeys to the frontlines of climate change in the U.S., Canada, Kenya, India and China, visiting ordinary people whose lives and livelihoods are being dramatically impacted by persistent droughts, high winter temperatures, dust storms, sudden monsoons and other extreme weather events.  The film also looks at how individuals, communities and companies have begun to reckon with the dangers of a warming earth, and are implementing new approaches to energy production, farming and other environmentally sensitive practices.
