About the Film
YOUTH v GOV is the story of the Juliana v. The United States of America constitutional lawsuit and the 21 American youth, ages 14 to 25, who are taking on the world’s most powerful government. Since 2015, the legal non-profit Our Children’s Trust, has been representing these youth in their landmark case against the U.S. government for violating their constitutional rights to life, liberty, personal safety, and property through their willful actions in creating the climate crisis they will inherit.
But the YOUTH v GOV story is about more than just a lawsuit. It is the story of empowered youth finding their voices and fighting to protect their rights and our collective future. This is a revolution designed to hold those in power accountable for the past and responsible for a sustainable future. And many of the movement’s leaders aren’t even old enough to vote – yet.
Post-film panel with Our Children’s Trust‘s Senior Staff Attorney, Andrew Welle, and Utah student Dallin Rima who on March 15, 2022, along with six other youth, filed a constitutional climate lawsuit against the state of Utah, Natalie R. v. State of Utah. Pre-film resource fair with local environmental and conservation organizations – so come early and see what’s going on for Earth Day in Park City.
Presented for Earth Day in partnership with Swaner Preserve & Eco-Center as part of the Reel Community Series.
