Documentary filmmaker Brenda Longfellow paints an alarming portrait of human lives altered by climate change. In an ecological cinematic road-trip, WEATHER REPORT visits northwest China, where the desert dust storms have buried hundreds of villages; gives voice to an irrigation worker in Montana, which is in the sixth year of a severe drought; and recounts a Mumbai monsoon that dumped 37 inches of rain in a single day. While many work for change, WEATHER REPORT reveals that unless it comes immediately, the current damage will be irreversible.
