Abstract

Children make the best environmental advocates because they will bear the brunt of climate disruption, they occupy a moral high ground, and they address intergenerational justice by bringing the future into the room. Their messages reach adults’ hearts and they model successes that inspire their peers. This article explores how the successful actions of children and youth, documented in films, act as powerful catalysts for attaining positive environmental change and social justice.
