Film Lens
Everything's Cool is a 2007 documentary directed by Dan Gold that examines the gap between scientific consensus on global warming and public perception. The film argues that human activity is the primary cause of recent climate changes and emphasizes the urgency of addressing this issue. Gold expresses optimism that the message about climate change is reaching the American public, but he also notes that if the message were fully understood, action would be more rapid.
The documentary premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2007 and was later shown at the San Francisco International Film Festival in May 2007. It features commentary from notable figures such as Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, and it is presented with a comedic tone to engage viewers while discussing a serious topic. The film was also part of the Passionate Eye series on CBC in Canada.
