"Ahead of its first theatrical screenings in the US later this month, Irons answered my questions about the film via email...

  1. I've watched this film on DVD and it is one of the clearest, most complete accounts of the effect our lifestyle has on the world today. Jeremy connects with top scientists, stats, community movers and shakers in an easy, non preachy and digestible way. It's a must see, leaving one with the feeling this is a problem that is solvable and we all have a part to play. Brilliant!
