A flimmaker takes down a greenwashing corporation for depopulating an island paradise, but soon finds that his friends may be as much a part of the problem as his enemies, and that he needs a new strategy to make a real difference.
SYNOPSIS:
Although I've described this as a feature, it can also be shot as an 8-part minseries with episodes of fifteen minutes each. Noor Abubakar, a Turkish-Iranian documentary maker, teams up with a climate scientist to blow the whistle on Ramdhun Corporation's takeover of the Lakshadweeps, a coral archipelago off the west coast of India. Johnny Pak, a Korean American Hollywood producer, helps him distribute the film widely enough that Ramdhun can't target Noor and shut him up. On the strength of this triumph, Noor goes to London to help a pair of climate scientists publicise their plan to save Europe's ports from sea-level rise, but an Irish tycoon throws a spanner in the works when he realises that Ireland will be left to drown. Meanwhile Johnny has fallen in love with a young Thai firebrand who wants to organise a beauty pageant to help countries under threat from climate change, but the project is in danger of being hijacked by a Persian princess who's also an energy baron. Noor comes to realise that factual reporting isn't enough to stop the climate crisis: he needs to tell stories that will touch people's hearts, and the story of the failed London project is where he's going to start.
