Dr. Sourav Roy, CEO, Centre for Big Synergy, London, commented, “Enjoy watching these films, be aware of the bigger picture of sustainability, draw inspiration from relatable stories of change and resilience, and act now to address the biggest challenge faced by all of us -climate change. Every film has a statement describing how the issues highlighted in the film is important to each one of us, irrespective of who we are or where we live on this planet.”
