Naomi Klein: This Changes Everything (excerpt)
This is an edited excerpt the feature length documentary This Changes Everything.
Naomi Klein didn't think climate change was her issue but when she
realised the close link between environmental destruction and
inequality, everything changed. In Naomi's home country, the Canadian
government granted virtual free rein to companies seeking oil in
Alberta's tar sands, creating a boom town in Fort McMurray. Like large
numbers of activists across the world, the indigenous population in
Alberta protested the environmental damage. How can we connect the dots
among movements around the world to tackle climate change and inequality
at the same time?
