hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump wraps up the g20 summit in osaka with news that us companies will be able to sell goods to the chinese tech giant, huawei — as trade talks between the us and china resume. we're talking about equipment where there is no great national emergency problem with it, but us companies can sell the equipment. meanwhile, at her last g20 summit as prime minister — theresa may says she hopes her successor is able to secure a good brexit deal. the queen pays tribute to the scottish parliament — with a speech to mark

holyrood's 20th anniversary. i have no doubt that for most of these last 20 years, this striking chamber has provided exactly that — a place to talk. it's the hottest day of the year in the uk — with a temperature of 30.7 degrees recorded at charlwood in surrey. now on bbc news... in the june edition of talking movies, the emphasis is on hollywood and the environment — including taking a look at how studios incorporate environmental concerns into their films. hello, i would welcome to the special edition of talking movies on the film industry out of the

environment. i'm talking movies. in today's programme, how hollywood has dealt with global warming and other environmental issues and its films. whilst efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of movies in production, we go behind the scene. and how climate change is affecting the content climate change is affecting the co nte nt of climate change is affecting the content of nature documentaries. 0ut of the film that explores peoples feelings and our climate change a year. all that more in a special environmental edition of talking movies. hollywood has historically been a to reflect changes in the wider world and its films, but when it comes to climate change, the tendency is for it to be looked out through the documentary learns rather than by feature film—makers. emma jones has been finding out why. the polar ice caps have melted out of the earth lies beneath a watery grave. one of

hollywood's first attempts at featured on climate change as a plot device, plot what a world was a footing max. it was sung at the box office, groaning under the weight of its massive budget. it has been reading like this for two days now. mr vice president! if reading like this for two days now. mrvice president! if we reading like this for two days now. mr vice president! if we don't act now, it will be too late. the title gives the day after tomorrow remains hollywood's massive what was that. directed by max emmerich, it saw the world plunge into an ice age. at the time, the science was scoffed out. this is really not a political issue so this is really not a political issue so much as a moral issue. but it took a serious man to to get a serious issue into the public eye.

former vice president, al gore. the 2006 documentary which followed a campaign to educate people about global warming one and oscar, it also got odd cc talking. the sequel was made in 2018. stories are the best way to communicate in a memorable fashion. among all the media available to us, i personally believe that movies are the most powerful because you have a longform opportunity to convey a message with a lot of complexity and a powerful truth. and ink inconvenient truth as it is change, and more famous faces that al gore became involved. leonardo dicaprio has made two films

on climate change, one of them, before the flood was released free of charge on streaming platforms and was viewed millions of times in one day. that is a case for climate issues in series film—making. based onatrue issues in series film—making. based on a true story of a boy who saved his village from climate issues. people most vulnerable will take the brunt. it is our collective behaviour. there was something about that, the nature of climate change, its growing impact on vulnerable communities that i thought was very urgent. we cannot live in solutions to these problems, we can all choose to these problems, we can all choose

to be like william and it's that to embrace the solution to these issues. but hollywood was like a big budget departments are still mainly using the environment is a plot device, orfor special using the environment is a plot device, or for special effects, using the environment is a plot device, orfor special effects, in san andreas plasma case, dwayne johnson to save the world from natural disasters. in that a manage to day after tomorrow i have come to london and i have found film critic, anna smith. anna, has hollowed ever been responsible to the environment when making its films?” been responsible to the environment when making its films? i think when it comes to blockbusters, there is some attention from people like roland emmerich, to tell a story i make people think. ultimately, studios want to make money and want to tell a blockbuster story that is action packed so they cut to the chase very quickly and we see the hero escalating through the disaster

and getting through the chase. it is not a realistic experience. a realistic one will probably leave people quite depressed coming out of the cinema. nor has hollywood had a great track record in colliding with reality. the hollywood version of the beach was accused of disrupting the beach where it was filmed. do you think hollywood will change its tune after the growing realisation that climate change is now here?” would love to think that it does but the problem remains that studios how to please middle america and climate deniers. not everyone, even those on board, want to go i spent a lot of money at the cinema for an escapist movie which deals with the subject. however, i'd like to think like that may shift as people become more aware. perhaps darren aronofsky

the's mother, and anna julie for killing the planet, which puzzled many when i would have a screen, is also an highlight of hollywood's relationship with the environment. well intentioned, but not enough. environmental concerns are changing the content or wildlife documentaries, is steadily popular genre of film for more than 60 yea rs. genre of film for more than 60 years. increasing anxiety over the environment is prompting some film—makers to adopt a more urgent, at times disconcerting tone. this is the story of our changing planet. nature documentaries are having a moment in the sun. the genre as we know it was invented when the bbc found it is a natural history unit in 1957. energy has a 19, tv networks and streaming services are ofa networks and streaming services are of a documentaries which chronicled the splendour of nature and its

brutal underbelly. how to explain that the rising popularity of this genre? some see it as a necessary antidote to a modern society which leaves us disconnected from the natural world. they are quite similar, in some ways, to zoos, historically, i've natural history museums because they give us some sense of the platitude of why. i think the thing which distinguishes them from those other institutions is that they can also connect with people on an emotional level. there is something about film and film narrative that can elicit really strong effect from people, a sense of connection, and a sense of emotional transport. maybe that is even more true that we are now glued to our couches and phones?” even more true that we are now glued to our couches and phones? i think the big shift probably happened about 100 years ago, where humanity goes from being in everyday contact with animals, at least in the

capitalist, industrialised world, to losing close contacts on an everyday level. so i think that documentary films about nature give people a sense of that visceral connection again. we have some plastic there is poor checker that has had to bring up. as a response to our growing environmental crisis, nature document have to i double a more elegiac until celebratory tone. the trend began with the bbc‘s blue planet two, which showed audiences see buzz being forced to feed man—made products to their chicks. in one hunting sequence, walruses who have been forced away from their natural habitat by climate change, fall helplessly from a jagged cliff as they attempt to return to the ocean from an unfamiliar landscape. it isa ocean from an unfamiliar landscape. it is a dramatic scene but experts say that new realities demanded a

new approach. the fact is that we are living through the six mass extinction of species, all of the animals portrayed in these documentaries are in crisis, so at the plants and ecosystems. so if you just put them is just interesting, wonderful, beautiful and cute, you're missing the central fact is. and in doing so, enabling a larger low cultural phenomenon of denial about the crisis that we face. low cultural phenomenon of denial about the crisis that we facem low cultural phenomenon of denial about the crisis that we face. it is suggested this approach can have a real impact. 88% of viewers have pledged to reduce the impact of plastic after watching blue planet two. but if nature documentaries are to reflect the full scope of our minds to mental crisis, bigger changes are needed. —— our environmental crisis. the nature

documentary is inherent to limiting sites. there is an amazing narrator, think about most of the ways these films are set up, a white guy, we never see him but we hear his voice over, it is narrating the truth of these other civilisations, or other wild worlds, other species. what that does is set up a kind of opposition between the narrator and the viewer, and the natural world, and suggest it is a complete antithesis between them. we know thatis antithesis between them. we know that is not true, we know we are shaping the natural world, we note the natural world is directly and hinging on us and all sorts of increasingly violent ways. in a sense, this turning point for nature documentaries reflect the largish is happening in other areas of filling. use that have been systematically

marginalised for years, like those of women or people or colour are now being elevated. but also he's no longer serve the audiences, new voices are needed. it is the same thing for documentaries, the difference is that the stakes are much larger, the future of our species may depend on whether the ball fast enough. the film community generally takes a politically correct line when it comes to comments about climate change and environmental accountability. but there is a degree of hypocrisy to these pronouncements because when it comes to its impact on the environment, the film industry has been a big offender. now there is effort under way to turn things around. film sets are incredibly wasteful places, vast resources are routinely gathered, and to be disposed of before it is offered to another location. but there is not a campaign under way to make hollywood green. producers have been trying to

green. producers have been trying to green every film is that they make. this one knows it is a big challenge. absolutely. it could be an independent film, 50—100 people. each to do film could be 100—200. the miniseries about to do, the crew size will be freer to 50 people. that is a crew before you bring in all your background extras. when you think about what it takes to be people around from set to said, the transportation, the energy involved, then you get to creating the world of the movie— the sets, the scenery, all of the art department, the approximately wardrobes. you are really running a little civilisation to make a movie set, everywhere you go you are creating things and leaving carbon footprints. we as an industry can be progressive in our content, but in our practice, not so

much. emily is co-founder of f angel, a company which will work with different studios to make it more green. our model at f angel, is about the stats to help shoot or sustainably. we actually recruit, train, and supervise equal production assistant on every show that we work on. so there is always a dedicated individual who is overseeing and maintaining a shell‘s sustainability efforts. that level of accountability makes the initiative go more smoothly and be more effective. the level of impact assessment that we provide is pretty tremendous, in terms of how many plastic bottles are avoided, all the way up to the actual carbon footprint. really digesting that, breaking it down into ways that is easy to understand. what is it that motivates a studio to get involved

in sustainability and thinking about issues like the environment? because their main m is obviously to turn a profit, isn't it? i was their main m is obviously to turn a profit, isn't it? iwas very impressed when i learned at the hollywood studios have been calculating their carbon footprints for years, the equipment, the technology, the generated, all the sound stages. they had been aware that this was an issue that was to be dealt within our future. i think any corporation that has the capital investments and are unaware of what the current signs is, which is pretty undeniable, the planet is heating up, things are changing, things need to change more. that is a level of social responsibility. ultimately, it is an economic factor to really get on board with what the reality is and deal with it. so how much difference can these committee organisations and individuals make?

can they really bring down the carbon footprint of a film during production? typical production, i would say the carbon footprint, ten yea rs would say the carbon footprint, ten years ago, i would say we are down to about if out of that with the ones implementing these initiatives. eventually, we get to carbon neutrality is our end goal, and decarbonisation. emily may be a small operator but she has some big endorsements. she helped make the amazing spider—man two, it was equal friendly sony blockbuster in history, showing she has support for some of the biggest players in history. efforts to turn hollywood green have taken root, and are here to stay. this 2019 brought a different kind of environment of film, but was more concerned about people feelings about climate change, than the phenomenon itself. a film has been put together the committee on climate change enema,

hearing peoples fears and examine 80s the future. every day for the month of august and 2017, a film—maker realm to the awk cities, interviewing its residents about their thoughts in its future. this resulted in the documentary, the hottest august, a time capsule of peoples anxieties when it comes to climate change according to the director. we see a lot of films that are about coral reefs that are being destroyed, polar bear starving, things based on information about climate change instead of the environment and i wanted to make a film that is about whether or not climate change exists or how bad he raises, but rather about how people are coping and what is at the root of our own paralysis in the face of

it. a number of people that story talk to not only ruminated on the environment but also how climate change is having a negative impact on economic and political fares change is having a negative impact on economic and politicalfares in the us. do you as a film—maker make a connection between the climate and political environment? yes, for sure, ithink political environment? yes, for sure, i think the film is all about that connection. but also, the feeling that resources are diminishing. story's interviews with her subjects reveals a lot. my husband lost all his missionary. she she meets a survivor of hurricane sandy in the new york borough of staten island. although this woman's home was lost to the hurricane she does not believe there will be announced on the platform 100 years. the staten island resident also ex presses the staten island resident also expresses distrust for fema, the

agency meant to aid citizens in emergency situations. a group of people that we met in staten island who survived hurricane sandy, who stayed in their homes, decided not to sell their houses when fema came offering. at once, it seems crazy that they would stay in their homes when the water is rising and there might be more storms, but they also understand that there is a real estate [and grab going on around them. so when i say, i'm going to sell my house for $200,000 to fema? where else am i going to live in new york for $200,000? then ac new york really then ac new york real estate developer they realise, there is something else going on here. even though it sounds like they are in climate change denier, they're actually very astute in assessing the political situation of that large. the film portrays a snapshot of the politically divisive time the world is ending out of the psyche of

people worrying about their ability to fright and society and their environment. one young woman laments the scaling back of the us environmental protection agency as the tom administration ceased to make environment concerns a top priority. now is a bit about how to get environmental job because priority. now is a bit about how to get environmentaljob because of the epa has been downsized.” get environmentaljob because of the epa has been downsized. i said of using her degree, she walks dogs. herfriend has a cataclysm using her degree, she walks dogs. her friend has a cataclysm fear is climate change is become much more urgent. i think there is a much more fuel for us that our kids might not live out their full lives. is there a political motive for making this film, are you a climate change activist? sure, unlike many people. i'm an advocate for continuing to get to survived. —— i'm like many

people. certainly, i consider myself and environmentalist but it is not a traditional actor was film, and environmentalist but it is not a traditionalactorwas film, in and environmentalist but it is not a traditional actor was film, in a sense, it has no simple political message and a set of takeaway it really is a film that is interested in asking why we feel so powerless right now and what we can do to feel like we have notjust individual but collective power to do something about the state of the planet. for me, that means thinking about how people are doing and how our lives could be better because otherwise been better is not separate from the state of the planet being better. the hottest august is definitely not the average climate change film. story was able to stitch together peoples stories and thoughts about what the about the environment.

connections to climate change are loose at time and it can be how to identify what really binds the documentary together. but this fellow might serve the purpose the director intended, it documents the fears that ordinary people have for the fate of our world. and amid those fears, and hope that people can change the future for the better. well, that brings this edition of talking movies to a close. we hope you have enjoyed the show. please remember you can also reach us on line and you can find us on facebook too. from me, tom brook, and the rest of the talking movies production team, here in the order, it is goodbye as we leave you with this montage of sounds and images from the show.
