Climate Justice documentary on France 5, Digi Mart USA News: The documentary “Climat, que justice soit faite !” will air Monday, November 16 at 9:05 p.m. on France 5.
The 90-minute film examines how the fight against climate change has shifted from public demonstrations to the courts, reaching the highest level of international law.
The film follows an unprecedented legal effort to bring the climate question before the International Court of Justice in The Hague. Its aim is to have the obligations of states in the face of global warming formally recognized.
The initiative originated with students from the Pacific islands, among the first communities exposed to rising sea levels.
The documentary traces the steps of this mobilization and the hopes it has raised. It combines scientific, legal and diplomatic issues while focusing on the people who are campaigning on the ground.
By giving voice to those behind the legal action, the film shows how law can be used to pressure governments and economic actors to act. It also raises questions about collective responsibility toward future generations.
The program has been recognized for its impact and is aimed at a broad audience interested in climate policy and international law. It is broadcast on France 5 in prime time and is also available on replay via france.tv.
