Denial (2016)

As the climate crisis looms incessantly, pushing us towards an impending environmental disaster, most remain oblivious. Amidst this global turmoil, David Hallquist, a committed executive from a Vermont utility, emerges as an unlikely hero. He audaciously challenges one of the world's largest contributors to this crisis - our electric grid. This complex and pressing narrative initially intends to follow the heroic efforts of this ordinary man against an extraordinary problem. But as David's son, Derek, embarks on the journey to chronicle his father's story, their world is suddenly upended by an astonishing family secret. This revelation dramatically shifts the narrative's trajectory, compelling both Derek and David to confront a deeply personal struggle that they can no longer afford to overlook. In the midst of this emotional maelstrom, "Denial" weaves a tale of resilience, truth, and the power of family. The film offers a rare glimpse into intimate family dynamics and the hidden cogs of the energy industry. Infused with a unique blend of humour during overwhelming circumstances, this narrative manages to explore a crucial global issue while simultaneously unfolding a powerful and intensely personal family saga. "Denial" is not just a testament to one man's battle against a global crisis, but also a poignant exploration of an intimate family journey. It presents an important subject through a humorous, informative, and irresistibly compelling personal narrative, making it a film that cannot be ignored, much like the issues it addresses.
