Duty of Care - The Climate Trials

One of those feel-good environmental documentaries which doesn't sit well given that we're going to blow past the Paris Accord 1.5C window within the next few years. There is too much hope, too much talk, not enough analysis, and far too little action. Those looking to learn about some of these historic climate cases may be particularly interested, but those seeking a climate documentary will be sorely disappointed. The direction and voiceover are bland. The cinematography is practically nonexistent. I almost fell asleep halfway through. The amount of hope displayed by the film's subjects and it's documentarian is especially trite, as court cases will only cost companies money, and not enough. They will not stop climate change without sufficient state enforcement, which no state wants to step in and stop the corporate destruction of our planet for profit. If hot air could stop climate change, Duty of Care would contain enough to save the planet.
