Youth Climate Activists Feature Doc ‘This Is Planet Z’ In The Works

This Is Planet Z follows a group of mostly young women of color who conceptualized, organized and mobilized youth across the United States to speak up and incite change. Their actions culminated in 7.5 million people striking on September 20, 2019, encouraging young voter turnout that influenced the 2020 presidential election and key races across the U.S. 

The doc followed adolescents who were spurred into action when former President Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, effectively making the U.S. the only nation that abandoned its promises to curtail emissions.

CreativeChaos and Above the Clouds are planning a year-long effort of social action motivated around getting out the vote in 2024 with a dedicated focus on youth and social media.
