Kyoto

Details

The Kyoto Conference Centre, 5am. The nations of the world are in deadlock. 11 hours have passed since the UN's landmark climate conference should have ended. Time is running out. And agreement feels a world away... Their prize: the world's first legally binding emissions targets. Their obstacle: American oil lobbyist and master strategist, Don Pearlman. Global in scale and personal at heart, Kyoto is the breathless, gripping tale of a moment when, finally, the impossible seemed possible. From the writers and directors of the universally-acclaimed The Jungle comes this timely and fast-paced political thriller placing you right at the heart of the historic 1997 Kyoto climate summit.
