The documentary 'Just Look Up,' produced by Adam McKay and debuting at the Tribeca Film Festival this June, follows the radical environmental group Climate Defiance.
This activist organization is famous for 'bird-dogging,' a confrontational tactic where they crash high-profile events to publicly shame fossil fuel CEOs and politicians. McKay used the film's launch to declare the Democratic Party 'corrupt from head to toe,' arguing they are beholden to corporate donors rather than climate goals. While some critics find the film unfocused or even detrimental to the cause, supporters view this raw aggression as a necessary response to the climate crisis.
The film is expected to fuel debate over whether disruptive protest is a vital wake-up call or a political liability during an election year.
