Filmed over four years of hope and crisis, TO THE END captures the emergence of a new generation of leaders and the movement behind the most sweeping climate change legislation in U.S. history. Award-winning director Rachel Lears (Knock Down The House) follows four exceptional young women--Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas--as they grapple with new challenges of leadership and power and work together to defend their generation's right to a future. From street protests to the halls of Congress, these bold leaders fight to shift the narrative around climate, revealing the crisis as an opportunity to build a better society. Including up-to-the-minute footage that culminates in 2022's landmark climate bill, TO THE END lifts the veil on the battle for the future of our world, and gives audiences a front seat view of history in the making.

Monica Castillo RogerEbert.com Throughout To the End, there is a clear sense of urgency to the call for action. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 9, 2022 Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap One of the subjects of “To the End” notes that she wants to “speak things into existence.” It’s a painfully poignant wish, representative of the blend of optimism, desperation, and determination that powers the entire film. Dec 8, 2022 Full Review Teo Bugbee New York Times Representative Ocasio-Cortez offers the best onscreen antidote to despair — she’s funny, a canny political strategy. Dec 8, 2022 Full Review John Serba Decider Despite its rather-too-broad approach to its subject matter, To the End is a compelling on-the-ground behind-the-scenes over-the-shoulder glimpse at the mechanisms of American progressive politics. May 9, 2023 Full Review Dan Schindel Hyperallergic Despite "To the End"’s insistence on hope, its most indelible moments are those that are honest about the understandable trepidation so many of us feel about the future. Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture There is no doubt that this issue is fundamental to a functioning and existing society. This documentary is simply not the film to tackle it head-on. Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
