The Age of Consequences
Harkins Sedona 6 - Theatre 2
Mon, Feb 20, 2017 3:10 PM
‘The Hurt Locker’ meets ‘An Inconvenient Truth’, "The Age of Consequences" is the investigation of climate change impacts on increased resource scarcity, migration, and conflict through the lens of US national security and global stability.
Through unflinching case-study analysis, distinguished admirals, generals and military veterans take us beyond the headlines of the conflict in Syria, the social unrest of the Arab Spring, the rise of radicalized groups like ISIS, and the European refugee crisis – and lay bare how climate change stressors interact with societal tensions, sparking conflict.
Whether a long-term vulnerability or sudden shock, the film unpacks how water and food shortages, drought, extreme weather, and sea-level rise function as ‘accelerants of instability’ and ‘catalysts for conflict’ in volatile regions of the world.Left unchecked, these threats and risks will continue to grow in scale and frequency, with grave implications for peace and security in the 21st century

Blood. Sweat. Tears. Joy. That's what the spring of 2016 was for me. The miles, the grind, the failing, the epic days missed, the lack of sleep, the jubilation, the friendships strengthened, and the time away from my family. And when the chasing was all done...wondering, was worth it all? Heck yeah it was.I had three goals this spring: Get a tornado on time-lapse, capture the best footage I possibly could, and chase as much as my schedule would allow. That ended up totalling 18 chase days. 20,000 miles driven. Almost 60,000 time-lapse frames shot. Nine total states. Hours and hours and hours of editing. All between April 15th and June 15th.This is the result of that journey. Did I get the tornado? You can see for yourself!
