Feeling the Apocalypse

Psychotherapist and UoFT assistant professor Anderson Todd is no stranger to creeping feelings of despair From the disappearing wildlife in his hometown Owen Sound to seeing news stories about melting ice sheets and decadeslong droughts there is no end to the parade of ominous news Little wonder then that the worried comments from Andersons clients and students about the future only increase and increase And like many others he finds it difficult to share this crushing dread with others without turning them away But our short film isnt just about anguish Its also about what we do now No our individual actions may not be able to change the course of feedback loops or reverse fossil fuel extraction But that doesnt mean we cant be contributing a community we cant be learning useful skills and we cant be connecting with other people and making a difference in their lives now or later
