Do we Believe in NCAR
Do We Believe in NCAR is an expository documentary that explores anticipatory grief surrounding climate change. The project investigates how young people are being affected by conversations centered around climate change. Using on-street interviews, the work centers itself in the lived experience of young folks. It invites young people to air the psychological wounds of the climate change discourse and renew their conviction in the planet. The project engages with the possible closure of NCAR, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, addressing partisan attempts to dismiss the subject. Ultimately, it proposes that people process the collective reality of climate change through individual stories, as understanding the ills of our ecosystem is the only way to combat it effectively.
