I WORRY
Film by Freja Refning Hansen from 2020
Duration 5 minutes
I Worry is a spoken word call to climate action. It explores the new generation's worries for the future, what climate breakdown means for different civilizations around the world and why we should care. It was ultimately the first poem of Freja's spoken word show "Envirowoman: SuperPowerPoetry". Written in 2019, while scientists warned the world to go CO2 neutral by 2025 - now only months away while we see escalating wars and fluctuations in extreme weather all around the globe, its premise seems more relevant than ever.
