The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing, which was given to politicians in Westminster in November 2025.
It features scientific content from the Westminster event and details why this is relevant to factors such as extreme weather, food security, health and cost of living.
This is combined with reactions from members of the public and some more familiar faces, which is designed to help the audience process the information on a more human level.

The event is being organised by Totally Locally, and the screening of the film will be followed by a ‘structured discussion’ on the topics covered.
