This documentary film follows the community in Cirencester, a small countryside town in South West England, who are working together to become more resilient to climate change.
ACT 1: THE CLIMATE CRISIS
The climate crisis is on a global scale and the UK is no exception. Cirencester, a small town in the Cotswolds, famed for it’s quintessential British countryside, formed a community group to tackle the floods and droughts in their town over 10 years ago called Friends of the Gumstool Brook.
ACT 2: TIME TO PREPARE
This group must learn how to respond to emergencies as a community, learn how to prepare for future emergencies and then build climate resilience that mitigates the threat of climate change to their homes.
ACT 3: COMMUNITY ACTION
When people come together, the results can be incredible. Friends of the Gumstool Brook, ACRE and FWAG didn’t just build climate resilience, but friendships and a stronger community. Now it’s time to spread the word, giving every town the skills they need for climate resilience.
