What does it take for us to act on the climate crisis -- especially if we're the kind of person who should already be acting? In this funny, relatable portrait, a concerned yet ineffectual dad finds the first step is letting those unbearable feelings of climate anxiety in, instead of pushing them aside. But as he meets others like him, he discovers how oil-backed propagandists funded our denial and paralysis. He sets out to unmask the vested interests responsible, helping raise a generation's leading authors in a vibrant chorus. MY EXTINCTION is a revealingly honest account of how to feel your feelings, act on your privilege, and get active when threatened with extinction.

Peter Bradshaw Guardian There is a disconnect between the importance of what he is talking about and the self-deprecation and throwaway comedy that dominates his style... Much though I always enjoy Appignanesi’s performances, the contradiction is not entirely solved. Rated: 3/5 Jun 28, 2023 Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages My Extinction reads like the opening chapters of an unfinished novel from an intellectual-turned-radical: heavy sociopolitical context, rich character development and instructions for the path forward. Essential viewing. Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Edward Porter Sunday Times (UK) If you feel you should be doing more to limit climate change but never seem to get to round it, this British documentary might speak to you — even if it doesn't make you change your ways.
