Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis on adapting This Changes Everything

Our economic model is at war with life on earth, says author and activist Naomi Klein.

Canadian author and social activist Naomi Klein and her filmmaker husband Avi Lewis are adapting Klein's best-selling book This Changes Everything into a documentary. 

In their first ever joint interview about the project, they join guest Gill Deacon to explore the connections between climate change and capitalism, the challenges of turning a 500-page book into a two hour movie, and why they remain hopeful in the face of overwhelming environmental challenges.
