Check out the trailer for “Generations” the new climate change film presented by The North Face in partnership with Teton Gravity Research and POW, releasing in October.

Generations discusses climate change through the perspectives of those for whom snowy winters have a deeper personal significance. Going beyond charts and numbers, “Generations” humanizes the debate on climate change by exploring the fragility of winter and the intrinsic value of snow to people across generations and cultures.

The original idea for “Generations” was suggested by outdoor manufacturer The North Face in a desire to produce a more potent call-to-action over the climate crisis. Teaming up with Jeremy Jones’ Protect Our Winters (POW), and action-sports filmmakers Teton Gravity Research, the resulting film poignantly captures cultural and personal responses from those to whom mountains and snow represent an irreplaceable way of life, ending with ways for everyone to take part in the solution.
