Brilliant! Well done on a great film at a time when it’s more important than ever to get to the heart of this issue.

Excellent! Much admiration to you Ross and your sponsors for covering a very important issue that everyone should be making decisions about today. Keep up the good work–

nice video – would be great to have annotations added that show who is talking as you interview them.

Congratulations on this being tweeted out by FOE!
I saw a short clip of this film at Witney Film festival – and thought it was great…. Really good film-making, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Keep up the very good work.

A truly great film! Well-reasoned and compelling arguments for immediate action on climate change.

Kudos Ross! And thank you!
Everybody needs to do what they can and not rely on governments and industry to lead the way. In this manner, as was during the civil rights movements, people become the leaders of governments.
Animal agriculture accounts for more greenhouse gas emissions than all modes of transportation combined. Switching to a plant-based diet is easy, doesn’t require expensive technology and has health benefits among others. Here are a few resources that people may find useful.

Awesome film – very inspiring, this needs to be shown in every school across the country… get in touch if you ever need a photographer.

It is such a welcome breath of fresh air to have a young persons perspective on the climate issue. Peer perspective, seasoned experts, and your grand-parents too, all brilliantly put together. I look forward to sharing this asap with folks here in eastern Ontario, Canada.

Truly impressed with Ross Harrison’s work.
At last a refreshing and well informed perspective on climate change. Great range of contributors and an incredibly mature journalistic work for such a young director! You’ve got to watch it!
Sponsume – Europe’s leading crowdfunding website – is proud to have facilitated the distribution of ‘Beyond the Brink’.

Really a great film. It’s to the point and very inspiring. I like how it shows that in the end, it’s not about us versus them (environmentalists vs non-believers), but about what we want for ourselves and future generations.
I’ll try to share and show it as much as I can. And really, very impressive that you’ve made this film and not only ask questions for yourself, but try and bring about change for everybody. Super cool.

Brilliant! Best documentary I’ve seen on climate change. Glad I supported you on Sponsume!

Just fantastic! Should be part of the curriculum. Great work well done.

You made a sadly ‘tired’ topic more current and interesting to contemplate again. I hope more people take time out to watch it and think about it. Thanks for sharing.

This film leaves out an essential component of the whole argument. We’ve been scammed and brainwashed by “experts” and “scientists” that climate change is 100% linked to human activity, and that we, and we alone, are responsible for this global issue. Our politicians and other power-hungry control freaks are jumping aboard the wagon. The real truth is being sidelined completely. Climate change is happening but it is NOT the result of human activity. Look at the work (published in many scientific journals, but not ever mentioned by the climate control freaks) of a Russian group under Dr Alesky Dmitriev who have been monitoring changes in the heliosphere and is easily found on the internet, but is posted here:

It is all too easy to take a stance on climate change, when what’s really important is acknowledging the different viewpoints and issues. Yes, many scientific journals and papers have argued for the severe impacts and, equally, the lack of consensus between scientists and models. Yet science is built upon disproving, not proving. No science can fully disprove or prove the multifaceted aspects of human-induced climate change. What is important, which you highlight very well, is that the substantial risk posed (not the likelihood) is worth engaging people in debate and doing something towards.

genuinely moving

Magnificent film – a hard hitting message … delivered calmly and clearly

It’s a real shame you didn’t submit your film in time for the awards!
But we’re really pleased to have received it, and will be screening it as part of No Limits on April 2nd-3rd in Sheffield (the UK’s greenest city)

A superbly made piece of work, Ross. Sincere congratulations for getting the content, pace and style to work together so well.

Our year 9 class watched the film, we found it very interesting, factual and helpful. They did say that it was very moving and got the point across. Some of us felt like there was a little too much information all at once. Some pupils said that they would recommend watching it alone so that they were more focused.
Everybody said that the government should be doing more!

Great work, Ross
I found your informal style of presentation made the information easy to assimilate, and I think that ‘personalizing’ the message by beginning with your grandparents’ perspective was a nice touch.
I think you have ably demonstrated what committed individuals can do to make a real difference.
best regards, and keep up the good work.

This is a wonderful film. I congratulate Ross and the artists/activists who made it. It is youth like you getting involved who will turn the tide and help us choose the sustainable path. Thank you for your wisdom. I hope many people in my generation will watch and learn!

Balanced combination of arguments, moving and inspirational! I can’t see anynone watching it and not considering making changes in their livestyles. great film!

We showed this on Tuesday this week as part of our community group’s – Hanover Action for Sustainable Living (HASL) in sunny Brighton (UK) – second film season, seeking to get local people to meet, reflect on climate change, and promote sustainable lifestyles.
Great film, with an accessible round up of the issues, with good style of delivery.. well done! and thanks for enabling us to put the show on.

That was bloody brilliant, Ross. Fantastic work.
