“Later is Too Late”
An Urgent, Unflinching Call to Climate Action
Don’t let the title be a prophecy. Nancy Nicol’s powerful documentary, “Later is Too Late,” is not just a film; it’s a rallying cry. This is essential viewing for anyone who breathes air and cares about the future of our planet.
Moving beyond the grim statistics and abstract warnings, Nicol masterfully grounds the global climate crisis in the powerful, personal stories of those on the front lines. The film introduces us to a diverse group of individuals—from youth activists to Indigenous leaders to everyday citizens—who are no longer waiting for permission to act. Their collective frustration and unwavering determination are both heartbreaking and profoundly inspiring.
“Later is Too Late” is unflinching in its portrayal of the challenges we face, but it is far from a film of despair. Instead, it is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing and collective courage. It argues convincingly that the solutions exist and the people are ready; what is lacking is the political will.
This film will leave you not with a sense of hopelessness, but with a clear-eyed understanding of the stakes and a burning desire to get involved. It’s a compelling, beautifully shot, and emotionally resonant piece that makes one thing perfectly clear: the time for passive concern is over. The time for action is now.
