Close the Divide

Close the Divide
Movie · Documentary

There is mass confusion in the world relating to climate change. A growing gap between reality and perception has created viewpoints often based on emotion rather than fact. Can we conquer climate change? Human beings are facing a problem that requires a solution more complex than taking one side. Society's use of energy is a profound story. It transcends far beyond the boundaries of one region. The conflict between our need for fuels and our need to reduce human impact is filled with strong emotions including anger, lies, greed and divisiveness. “Close the Divide” challenges viewers to examine preconceived notions, discussing innate, tribal psychology. How can we move forward in a positive way to fuel the world while respecting the environment? We must build understanding between opposing viewpoints. We must close the divide.
