In this documentary, University of Alberta student Andrea Wiebe follows a group of high school students from all over the world who came together through a common passion: climate change. For two months leading up to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change conference in Edmonton, the students had been preparing themselves by participating in an online classroom sharing blog posts and video conferences related to the theme of "Cities and Climate Change." Andrea follows the stories of Sofia Velez, Suhanee Giroti, and the rest of their classmates as they write a paper together and present it to policymakers and researchers at the IPCC conference.

This documentary was produced as part of a Community Service Learning project.
