THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MY DAD

Shooting an environmental documentary movie today can be seen as trying to be trendy. But what if I must? When my children were born, I realized I was experiencing something like the climate grief. I had to start doing something. I wanted to give my children a world to live in. And I was lucky – I have a dad who has been thinking about it for some time already. Among the apocalyptic scenarios, his idea shone with hope. I felt like it was my mission to shoot a film that could spark a wider discussion not only about my father’s concept but also about what our journey reveals about the relationship between power (people) and disease (of the planet). Where are the gaps and what are the limits?! Why is it so stuck? I would like the film to inspire the audience to be brave enough to fight for great deeds even when it seems impossible to succeed.
