Closing Night Film: The White House Effect
Jon Shenk, Pedro Kos, Bonni Cohen

Inside George H.W. Bush’s White House, scientists drop the bomb that climate change is real. Chaos ensues. Staff clash, lobbyists scramble, and Bush, who once ran as an environmental candidate, faces an existential decision that reshaped our planet’s future. Told entirely through archival footage, it’s riveting, urgent, and surprisingly cinematic.
