Director's Commentary
»For more than 25 years I have been dealing with the topic of energy and sustainability in film. "Climate Warriors" is now, after my films "The 4th Revolution" and "Power to Change", the preliminary highlight. On the one hand, the film shows people who rebel in very different ways for renewable energies and against environmental destruction. On the other hand we get to know exciting new ideas and solutions for a better life. Because the energy transition is really something beautiful!
I made "Climate Warriors" because I saw how the global energy transition was faltering after initial successes. But there are the fighters who keep going on and on and lead the way with tremendous energy for our climate and a better world. I went in search of them and portrayed them for this film. And I'm sure you will be as impressed with these people as I am.
One thing has become clear to me in all these years: Renewables are not only good and important in the fight against global warming. They are shaking up the entire value creation of the energy industry. And we can and may all participate in it – worldwide!
