JUST LOOK UP follows Michael Greenberg, a brazen visionary and founder of Climate Defiance, a disruptive youth movement. In the tradition of Gandhi’s Satyagraha, the Civil Rights Movement, and ACT UP, they use radical nonviolent direct action to jolt society awake, calling out Big Oil, corporate CEOs, and the politicians who enable them. The film charts a motley, idealistic crew improvising, failing, regrouping, and pushing on to protect the planet. As they press forward, the film’s propulsive soundtrack is not background but fuel, with Chappell Roan, Doechii, and Billie Eilish pushing the pace and sharpening the stakes for a generation with no room to fail.

“They go right to the corrupt people that are selling out billions of human beings for donor checks from oil companies and the banks that fund the oil companies. I love how Climate Defiance confronts them, eye to eye as human beings, as opposed to allowing the discourse around the climate collapse to exist as a campaign issue, or something to compromise over.” – Adam McKay

“This film shows what resistance looks like and how compelling it is, how courageous it is, and how human it is. I see it as an antidote to the sense that it’s become uncool or cringe to participate in doing the very thing we need to to save ourselves as a species and as a democratic society.” – Joshua Oppenheimer
