Who will mimic who—this enigmatic communication becomes somewhat of a power game. The play of Whispering Saucers suggests that loud and clear communication is not essential to understand each other. What matters is where you’d stand to understand one another.

Cost of living, climate change, food, housing, land: the multiple crises we face are deeply interlinked, which means the solutions are too. “Everything Must Change” explains how all these crises – and the accompanying spiralling price rises – have come about, and shows how a just transition away from a free market extractive system based on exploitation to a renewable energy system based on peoples needs can solve all of them. Drawing on the experience of numerous inspiring social movements, the film shows how climate change driven by profiteering from our global systems has destroyed our planet and increased inequality. We need to transform global infrastructure and services to be people oriented, by building a global mass workers and peasants movement to enact a just transition. For the people, by the people, and never for profit. Because government and big business aren’t going to do it for us.
