Just Do It: Get Off Your Arse and Change the World
Reclaiming the phrase from trainer-makers, this feature-length
documentary follows environmental activists in 2009 from the G20
protests to the COP15 conference as they take on the combined forces
of global capitalism, run-away climate change and the metropolitan
police. Set for release in early 2011, it aims to inspire and incite
ordinary people to stop waiting for politicians and take back power
through action. You can watch the trailer here:

Just Do It is a film pushing boundaries. It is an experiment in
crowd-funding, group production and community-engaged documentary
filmmaking. Funded through donations from people who believe this is a
story that must be told, rather than accepting the limitations of the
profit-focussed model of commercial film, this is grassroots
filmmaking driven by assion and creative vision.
