The article reports on a community screening in Sheffield last week of a film that spearheads a fantastic, well-backed initiative to get the UK government to act on the climate/nature emergency.

Hundreds more screenings are coming up, including some in Sheffield. The website tells you how to get involved, including writing to your MP and spreading the word.

I've emailed all my friends, family and contacts about this!

The article links to a trailer of the film that's NSFW because it contains swearing, hence the flag.

A documentary film, just out, spearheads a major, well-backed push to tell the British public about the serious, imminent risks to the UK from the climate and nature crisis – and to get action on the solutions that we have in our hands to fix it, if we act fast enough.

The solutions being put forward include a national shift to a more plant-rich diet – so this would be fantastic for veganism.

The film, called The People’s Emergency Briefing, aims to break through the silence and disinformation and create an irresistible call to the Government to put out a prime-time, televised, national emergency briefing on the crisis, mount a genuine, WW2-scale emergency response, and lead internationally.

The film is powerful, energising and entertaining, and includes big names such as Chris Packham and Jennifer Saunders reacting Gogglebox-style to footage of expert briefings.

For now, you can only see it at community screenings, followed by a discussion, with your MP always invited – so that you can come up with a plan together.

Thousands of screenings are in the pipeline, big NGOs such as the National Trust and RSPB are backing it, cathedral showings are planned, and the aim is to get the film shown over and over in every constituency across the UK to get the cat out of the bag.

We can all write to our MPs asking them the join the Parliamentary Call to the Government to act; go to a screening and take others with us; host a screening; and get the word out as widely as possible.

More info, including where you can see local screenings, is on the National Emergency Briefing website.
