Can movies help us understand climate change?
Film has a unique ability to engage and move people. It is an ideal medium to inform and motivate audiences around climate action. But can movies with an environmental theme also discourage audiences by lecturing them?

Host: Dr. Dave Robbins
Guests: Eco-cinema researcher Prof. Pat Brereton, documentary expert Dr. Eileen Culloty, and filmmaker Tom Burke, all of DCU School of Communications
