Why aren't more TV shows and movies taking on climate change?

from Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud

The devastating wildfires in Los Angeles have many people thinking about climate change. So why aren’t we seeing more TV or film addressing this pressing global issue? Allison Begalman, co-founder of the Hollywood Climate Summit, and Kendra Pierre-Louis, climate reporter with Bloomberg, talk with Elamin Abdelmahmoud about what’s keeping Hollywood from reflecting our environmental reality. Plus, culture writer Rebecca Jennings explains why Beast Games, from the extraordinarily popular YouTuber Mr. Beast, is both compulsively watchable and incredibly toxic.
