A Q&A with director Joe Gantz about his climate activism documentary The Race To Save The World, held as part of the 2021 Paris International Film Festival.
Throughout the interview we cover pitching the documentary to those involved, the changing face of police and court responses to climate protests over the course of filming and remaining optimistic about the future and the push to fight the climate crisis.
There were some internet issues during the first half of this interview, but not enough to fully disturb Joe’s answers. Luckily, after a little while they die down and the rest of the conversation goes by largely uninterrupted.
