Short Synopsis:	Stuart Langfield and You Are Here make a plea on behalf of the future voter. We’re repulsed by the idea of child neglect. For most of us it’s an incredibly triggering subject, but our inaction over climate change is putting future generations in peril. The film uses a powerful visual metaphor to get its point across. A young baby is left alone as a bath is left to run unchecked. Finally it spills over, and the baby is powerless to do anything as the water encircles her. Accompanied by a haunting score by Caleb Burhans, the film creates a poignant link between abuse of our planet and of our future children. Part of the team's goal was to use their talents as creatives & filmmakers to make a thought-provoking contribution to the climate conversation. In particular, Langfield’s motivation was driven by a recurring dream of the future. “I’d be sitting down to dinner with my kids and they’d outright ask me ‘What did you do to help?’ Being able to look them in the eye and answer that question if it ever comes up in real life, was all the motivation I needed.” “There’s so much we can do as individuals to counteract climate change, but the single biggest impact we can make in the immediate future is with our vote. Choosing political leaders that demonstrate tangible, achievable plans to combat climate change should be a top priority, especially during this critical year of elections around the world. Our children’s lives depend on it.” adds Stuart. Exec Producer Jeremy Goold says: “For us, this film needed to be deliberately uncomfortable. A nerve-touching viewing experience that urges action on both a personal and global level. With so much focus on the immediate future and political point-scoring, we felt it was an important reminder of our longer term duties to humanity.”
