Jacqueline Zünd Explores Climate Inequality in ‘Heat,’ Premiering at Visions du Réel: ‘I Found Dystopia in Real Life’

• What’s Inside:
• A new movie called ‘Heat’
• It’s about climate change inequality
• And it’s premiering at a big film fest

We just saw something really powerful. It’s a documentary called ‘Heat’ by Jacqueline Zünd. Forget boring lectures about global warming. This film is all about how it *feels*.

Imagine hearing a meteorologist from Kuwait say, “Heat is like a death sentence.” That’s the kind of raw feeling this movie dives into. It’s not about showing charts or graphs. It’s a sensory experience, pulling you right into the reality of climate change.

The whole vibe of the film feels intense. It’s showing us a dystopia that’s already here, not something from a sci-fi movie. Zünd is premiering ‘Heat’ at Visions du Réel, a major documentary festival in Switzerland. This is definitely one to watch for a different take on a huge issue.

Our Take

We love how this film is focusing on the human side of climate change. It’s easy to get lost in the science, but feeling the impact is what really drives change. We think art, especially film, is the perfect way to do that. It’s a reminder that real people are living through this every day.
