The White House Effect, a powerful documentary that traces how the United States—once poised to lead on climate action—became entangled in decades of political conflict, industry pressure, and missed opportunities.
Through archival footage and first-hand accounts from key figures in U.S. climate policy, the film reveals the political decisions that shaped the climate crisis we face today. It’s an eye‑opening, accessible introduction to the history behind our current moment—and a reminder of what’s at stake in 2026.
This screening is part of Democrats Abroad’s Earth Month programming and is open to people around the world. RSVP below to receive the link to watch the film at your own pace before joining the in-person discussion.Â
