Narrated by Matt Damon and produced by Emmy-Award winning filmmakers, Plan B: Mobilising to Save Civilisation is a brand new documentary based on the book by Lester Brown, environmental visionary and founder of the Earth Policy Institute.

In a very real sense, the programme is an environmental road show shot on location around the globe and featuring some of the world’s most original and influential thinkers. Lester Brown’s message is clear and unflinching – either confront the realities of climate change or suffer the consequences of lost civilisations and failed states. Ultimately, Plan B provides audiences with a glimpse into a new and emerging economy based upon renewable sources plus realistic strategies to avoid the growing threat of global warming.

Appearing with Lester Brown are Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman, Pulitzer Prize winner Tom Friedman, former Governor and Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt, along with other scholars and scientists. Locations include: China, Japan, Korea, India, Italy, Turkey, Bangladesh, Zambia, Haiti, and the United States.
