About the Film:

This compelling 50‑minute film blends authoritative scientific evidence from the Westminster National Emergency Briefing with reactions from members of the public and familiar faces, helping audiences process the information on a deeply human level.

Based on the landmark Westminster event — featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times — the film includes contributions from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a wide range of voices from across the UK. It delivers the unflinching facts about the scale of the threats we face, while also highlighting the enormous benefits that could follow if government shows genuine leadership and urgency.

Please note this film contains strong language and covers hard-hitting topics and is not recommended for young viewers. Delegates must be aged 16+ and age/ID may be checked on arrival.
