At Rio’s “Earth Summit” on June 14, 1992, Severn Cullis-Suzuki remains in worldwide memories. At 12, she speaks to state leaders to warn about environmental issues. Her speech reduce the United Nations to silence.
Twenty-five years later, the subject is more relevant than ever. It’s around an excerpt from this speech that the indie band GRANDS BOULEVARDS builds this surreal dream, visionary and brutal. It’s a powerful calling to the new generation. A message of hope, of gathering. A hymn, to remind today’s youth it is the future. That it has the power and the duty, more than ever before, to bring about the change that will make the difference.
