Guest Bio
In How to Let Go of the World and Love All The Things Climate Can’t Change, Oscar
Nominated director Josh Fox (GASLAND) continues in his deeply personal style, investigating
climate change – the greatest threat our world has ever known. Traveling to 12 countries on 6
continents, the film acknowledges that it may be too late to stop some of the worst
consequences and asks, what is it that climate change can’t destroy? What is so deep within us
that no calamity can take it away?
