✊🏿 Whoopi Goldberg and Our Client Livia Nelson have teamed up with Extinction Rebellion in a beautiful new animation set in 2050, entitled '#TheGiganticChange'. * 🎞️ Get a reminder to tune in for the live premiere on June 5th at 0900 UTC HERE ➡️ www.facebook.com/ExtinctionRebellion/videos/308403240564157/ * 🌎 The film, to be released on June 5th as part of #WorldEnvironmentDay, looks back from 2050 to show how people came together to save the world from the Climate and Ecological Crisis. * ⏳ Visit ➡️ www.thegiganticchange.com to find out how you can take action TODAY. * 🦠 As governments plan how to rebuild our world post-Covid, the film shows that a brighter future really is possible. But this won’t happen on its own; we must all take action TODAY ➡️ https://actionnetwork.org/forms/nogoingback * ⚠️ The Climate and Ecological Crisis is an existential threat to people of all ages and backgrounds, firstly impacting the oppressed and those least responsible for it. The need for collective action has never been greater. * ⏳ The urgency of the situation clearly resonates with her, and many others, but the challenge is to communicate this urgency to the wider public as governments worldwide are failing to tell the truth to us all. * 💥 The team behind The Gigantic Change, together with Passion Pictures – who created the famous Orangutan advert for Iceland – knew that Whoopi’s iconic voice would bring a perfect sense of gravitas to the performance. She is a prominent campaigner on environmental issues, so she had the power to inspire many of her followers to take action. * 💚 This is the primary purpose of The Gigantic Change. After seeing the film, viewers are invited to visit https://www.thegiganticchange.com, a simple website outlining the most effective actions they can take to save the environment. * 🦸🏿♀️ Whoopi Goldberg has appeared in such films as The Color Purple, Ghost, and Sister Act. She became the first African American woman to host the Academy Awards and only the second African American woman to actually win one. Today she has a strong voice on climate issues and is an active supporter of the School Strikes. * Full List of Cast & Crew: * Grandmother: Whoopi Goldberg Granddaughter: Livia Nelson Co-Directors: George Lewin & Nicola Jane Francis Original Story: George Lewin Co-Writers: Nicola Jane Francis & Josh Hughes Producer: Serena Schellenberg Executive Producer: Belle Palmer at Passion Pictures Designer & Animator: Nicola Jane Francis Sound Designer: Chris Banks Music Composer: Simon Chamberlain Casting Director: Nicci Topping Casting (CSA) Livia Nelson represented by Creative Kidz & Co Voiceover Recording: Factory Studios * Special thanks to all those who supported our GoFundMe campaign to get this important project off the ground. * Help XR mobilise and donate here: https://rebellion.global/donate/
