Everything's Cool

Director: Judith Helfand and Daniel B. Gold
Filmmaker in person
EVERYTHING'S COOL comes to Mendocino fresh from its North American Premiere at Sundance. Described by its makers as a "toxic comedy," this brilliant documentary is about the most dangerous chasm ever to emerge between scientific understanding and political action - Global Warming. While industry nay-sayers sing what just might be their swan song of pseudo- scientific deception, a group of self-appointed global warming messengers are on a high stakes quest to find the iconic image, the magic language, the points of leverage that will at last create the political will to move the U.S. from its dirty fossil-fueled economy to the new clean energy economy. In no way is EVERYTHING'S COOL a mere appendage to AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. It is very much its own film, especially in its use of humor to make its points. (2006, 95 min.)
