Resources for the film “Another World is Possible”
ABOUT THE FILM
Climate activist Helena Marschall, 20, takes us into a youth-led movement in Germany to get political leaders to act. And some of them are listening. At a fragile time, when inaction seems to bring us closer to an irreversible climate catastrophe, young people are mobilizing to reverse global warming. ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE follows the work of Helena, who leaves no doubt that urgent action is imperative. But she also offers hope and a roadmap to impactful activism.

Helena Marschall and her peers feel helpless when they see the indifference of leaders both in Germany and worldwide when it comes to climate change.
