THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT

Spanning three decades, this documentary explores the drama that unfolded inside the George H.W. Bush administration after scientists made headlines by proclaiming that significant climate change was underway. THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT investigates the nascent politicization of climate science, where industry power brokers held sway, in spite of ​​the public’s growing concerns and Bush’s environmentally-focused campaign promises. Using only archival materials, the film tells a harrowing story about the dangers of presidential power and how one man’s drive to remain in power over 30 years ago continues to shape our future and endanger the planet we call home.
