THE HERE NOW PROJECT
Dir: Jon Siskel & Greg Jacobs

2021 was the year climate change came home. From the streets of Brooklyn to the forests of Siberia, a relentless barrage of fires, floods, and storms made devastatingly clear that the extreme weather climate scientists had been predicting for half a century had arrived.

In a production of unprecedented scope, Emmy-winning filmmakers Jon Siskel and Greg Jacobs chronicle that pivotal year through the eyes of everyday people, transforming the ordinary act of shooting a phone video into the radical act of bearing witness. Epic and intimate, the film is a wake-up call with the message that we’re all in this, together.
