Are we stopping ourselves from stopping climate change?
Unstuck: A Documentary
Thinking about climate change can feel frustrating.

We disagree on solutions
Americans are (politically) divided on what solutions work, and who should be responsible for them

We feel stuck
But that's not the whole story. Americans agree more than ever on the reality of climate change, and we're seeing historical investments in solutions across the country.
We set out to find those solutions — and get unstuck.
Interviewees (among many others)
Chett
Climate skeptic port director that speared hundreds of millions of climate adaptation
Dave
Solutions moderate that spent 30 years working for Chevron
Yorell
Church leaders in flood ravaged reason, building the countries first resilience hub
Anthony
Ex-O&G employee with a family business installing solar
Sam & Vince
Tech founders in SF building the future of at home climate solutions
Neither of us actually do this as our full time jobs.
We were just extremely and unusually nerdsniped about this topic for a year, and felt like we had to make this film.
