You Told Us To Talk About The Weather 2026

Directed by Harry Tomlin

In the past 6 hours, 94% of Brits have spoken about the weather. In the past 5 years, 7000 Brits have been arrested for speaking out about the climate crisis. This short film, starring Michael Sheen, has been developed with young farmers and colleges in rural Norfolk. It questions why it’s so hard for us to have meaningful conversations about climate change. Told through the eyes of a child grappling with climate anxiety, the film explores the cost of British small talk and encourages audiences to elevate their daily habits into tools for meaningful change.
