WE'RE BACK HERE WITH DOCUMENTARY SUPER STAR, MICHAEL MOORE.

YOU'RE THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER OF A NEW DOCUMENTARY "PLANET OF THE

>> IT'S A FILM I'VE BEEN WORKING ON WITH MY GOOD FRIEND AND

COPRODUCER FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS, ACTUALLY.

AND WE HAVE BEEN-- WE FINISHED IT SOME TIME BACK LAST SUMMER,

AND THEN WE'VE BEEN IN POSTPRODUCTION WHEN THIS

SO WE'VE BEEN FINISHING IT DURING THE TIME OF THE PANDEMIC

AND I SAID, "WHY DON'T WE JUST-- WHY DON'T WE RELEASE THIS?

WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THE THEATERS ARE GOING TO REOPEN.

>> TOMORROW IS THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF EARTH DAY.

>> AND YOU HAVE TO ASK YOURSELF, AFTER 50 YEARS, SINCE THAT FIRST

EARTH DAY, IS THE WORLD-- IS THE EARTH, THE PLANET, IN GREAT

PARTS PER MILLON OF CARBON IN THE ATMOSPHERE, WE'VE GONE PAST

AND WE WERE TOLD, AS WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE SCIENTISTS, YOU

WELL, I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT IT'S TOO LATE.

SO JEFF AND I AND OUR FRIEND OZZIE, WE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS

FILM TO SAY THAT MAYBE THE ROAD WE'VE BEEN ON IN TRYING TO FIX

OUR ENVIRONMENT, WHILE WELL INTENTIONED, HAS NOT BEEN THE

RIGHT ROAD BECAUSE WE'RE SO FAR GONE AT THIS POINT-- NOT JUST

WITH CLIMATE CHANGE, BUT A WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER THINGS-- THAT WE

ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SOLAR PANEL AND WINDMILL OUR WAY

SO THE FILM DEALS WITH THIS AND SHOWS WAYS THAT WE NEED TO BE

THINKING ABOUT THIS, AND, OF COURSE, I THINK A LOT OF US ARE

HOPING THAT THE YOUNGER GENERATION, GRETA AND THE

OTHERS, WILL-- ARE VERY ACTIVE AND VERY ASSERTIVE RIGHT NOW,

DEMANDING THAT OUR GENERATION WHICH HAS HANDED THEM THIS

WE NEED TO FIX THAT AND CHANGE THAT AND GET ON A DIFFERENT

AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT THE FILM SHOWS YOU.

SO IT'S NOT REALLY-- IT'S NOT DEPRESSING.

IT ACTUALLY SAYS, "TREAT THIS TIME RIGHT NOW WITH THIS-- THIS

THIS IS LIKE A COMING ATTRACTION, A TRAILER GIVEN TO

US FROM MOTHER NATURE THAT IF WE WERE SHOCKED BY THIS, AND OUR

BODIES DON'T EVEN KNOW STILL-- WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS IS

WE DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO ERADICATE IT.

WHAT NATURE IS GOING TO DO TO US-- IF YOU THINK-- WE THINK,

OH, IT'S MORE FIRES IN CALIFORNIA, MORE FLOODS DOWN

THERE ARE THINGS THAT NATURE-- LOOK, NATURE'S GIVEN US THIS

IT'S PUTTING US RIGHT NOW IN OUR TIME-OUT ROOM.

AND WE SHOULD BE USING THIS TIME TO THINK, WHEN WE COME OUT OF

THIS, HOW WE'RE GOING TO TREAT THIS PLANET, HOW WE'RE GOING TO

AND IF WE DON'T DO THAT, WHATEVER THIS IS THAT WE'RE

GOING THROUGH NOW, ALMOST 500 PEOPLE DIED IN NEW YORK

>> Stephen: I SEE THE PARALLELS, ACTUALLY, BECAUSE

THE SAME PEOPLE WHO DENY THAT THE CORONAVIRUS IS ACTUALLY A

CRISIS, FOR SO LONG LEADING UP TO THE MOMENT WHEN IT WAS

UNDENIABLE, ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE DENYING THAT CLIMATE

>> THIS WILL LOOK MINOR LEAGUE COMPARED TO WHAT THE CLIMATE

CRISIS AND THE OTHER THINGS ARE GOING TO DO TO US IN THE FUTURE.

AND NOT THE FAR-OFF FUTURE, THE NEAR FUTURE.

I USED TO THINK THAT, LIKE, YOU AND I AND OTHERS OF THIS AGE

ARE, YOU KNOW, OKAY, MAYBE WE'LL ESCAPE IT.

BUT, SADLY, OUR CHILDREN AND OUR GRANDCHILDREN ARE GOING TO HAVE

TO DEAL WITH THE CALAMITY, WITH THE COLLAPSE.

I'M NOT SO SURE ANYMORE, NOW, STEPHEN, THAT YOU AND I AREN'T

EVERYBODY IS GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS.

IT'S A SIREN CALL, TO OFFER ALL OF US TO GET INVOLVED.
