Featured review
What if local actions could make a change?
This documentary is made to show that, in our complex world, there are still things everyone can do.
In that this is a success and it gives a good overview of the initiatives that are possible and that can give enough hope to people to do something.
And it starts in stating the situation as I rarely saw it, which is highly praiseworthy.
Of course, it simplifies a lot, sometimes with solutions/alternatives contradicting each other, sometimes not fully convincing. Some of the (not really) innocent questions can be a bit heavy. I would also criticize the quality of the soundtrack and some images that in my opinion avoid some concluding sentences to resonate as much as it could have.
However, from its clear statement to good examples, it shows that overcomplexifying is generally a dead end and a nice justification not to act. Acting local has results. Trying is worth, already by the change of consciousness it brings. Local solutions won't clear everything but we can hope than from local personal initiative, to cities, it will go global at one point. Stating bad news as bad is necessary as the current situation still fails to be recognized for what it is. But that is not enough and people can just think that this is too much, that nothing can be done. However a small step is still a step and this documentary reminds that hope is necessary too.
