On August 14, 2021, unprecedented rain fell for the first time in recorded history at Greenland’s ice sheet summit, dumping 7 billion tons of water, which is enough to generate hydropower. A study by NASA revealed that Greenland’s ice is melting on average seven times faster than it was at the beginning of the study period. Climate change is inevitable. Led by O’right CEO Steven Ko, the team visited 11 towns to conduct in-depth interviews with experts, scholars, government officials, and local residents from all walks of life by reporters. The documentary reveals how climate change has affected Greenland’s society, economy and livelihood. When it comes to fighting climate change, we are all in this together. We hope that this documentary can resonate with society and galvanize public awareness on the worsening climate crisis and empower people through environmental education to drive change and transition to a sustainable society.

When she learns that the local youth centre is in danger, Geneviève refuses to give in without a fight. She tries to convince her friend Gadou to participate in the movement to save it.
Salut, Gadou! is a fictitious tribute to the Saint-Jean-Baptiste neighbourhood’s history of community involvement (downtown Quebec). It is based on a novel by the same name by Malcolm Reid, published in 1982. Reid’s novel was inspired by the neighbourhood’s Saint-Gabriel movement (1976) and the operation to rescue what is now the community’s youth centre.
