Hotter than before (2024)
Fleeting scenes of children playing joyfully on a beach collide with visuals of climate change impacts. Carefree children and splashing waves evoke innocence and nostalgia—a stark contrast to the unfolding climate crisis. The voiceover, drawn from recent newspaper headlines, weaves urgency into the narrative. As the innocence of childhood meets the harsh reality of a warming planet, “Hotter than before” reflects on the fragile balance between our actions and our common future. Can we alter our trajectory? Can we safeguard the future for these children and generations to come? Available at Labocine.
