And yet, climate change is a cause so vital to the entire planet that it’s possible to find inspiration to carry on. Director Oren Jacoby’s new film gives us reason to not only hope, but believe. We meet the climate activist Sharon Wilson, whose eerie thermal images of methane pollution in Texas unveil invisible destruction (and earn her death threats for sharing them).
