The CEOs of numerous fossil fuel companies had a major photo op on Friday as they gathered together to pledge their support for a strong agreement on emissions limits at the upcoming UN climate talks in Paris. Executives from 10 European companies were joined by the heads of Saudi Arabia and Mexico’s state energy agencies. US companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron did not participate.

As people the world over look to the December Paris conference as their last best hope for a binding treaty to save humanity from climate change, a new documentary has been released to zero in on the source of our problem: Capitalism. It’s “capitalism or the climate” says acclaimed best-selling author and activist Naomi Klein in the film that shares its name with her book: This Changes Everything.

The film is opening in theaters around the country.
