Film Preview: Just Do It – get off your arse and change the world launches Crowd Funding appeal

Just Do It looks into the mischievous and risky world of UK climate activists, and it needs your help...

Written by Sally Mumby-Croft

Left Field Films is producing an exciting new documentary film on climate change and is asking for your help to get it completed. Since 2009, Just Do It: get off your arse and change the world has been following the mischievous antics of UK Climate Change Activists. Emily James, the film's director was granted unprecedented access to document a variety of direct actions from the fraught G20 protest, the occupation of Blackheath by Climate Camp to Copenhagen and the spectacular failure of the UN COP 15 climate talks.

This is the briefest of introductions to a film that will inspire you to get off your arse and change the world and does no justice to the breadth and width of the activities and activists who inspired the project.
