If Charles Ferguson‘s Inside Job is still considered the single best film about the 2008 financial crisis — or at least one of the very best, documentary or otherwise — there’s a pressure that comes for his follow-up, Time to Choose. Its subject, climate change, is as pressing as ever (as long as you don’t fall to the right of the political spectrum), but not necessarily a fresh choice for the documentary treatment, and one of the few available reviews expresses skepticism of this enterprise.
We’ll be able to decide when Time to Choose arrives in theaters this summer, ahead of which there is a theatrical trailer. What to expect before then? While the pleasing tones of an Oscar Isaac-provided voiceover will have to wait for the full experience, its message is loud and clear: we’ve screwed up, but there may yet be hope.
See the preview below, as well as an extended talk with Ferguson:
Time to Choose will enter a limited release on June 3.
