🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative like a political thriller, relying on archival footage and insider testimonies to explore the precise moment when science was sidelined by political expediency. It dissects the closed-door meetings where the future of global climate policy was decided.
What lingers after the credits roll is a profound understanding of how a single administration's internal battle set a disastrous precedent for decades of inaction. The film is a crucial autopsy of a historic failure. — MovieFinder Editorial
