Synopsis:

At the Rio de Janeiro International Earth Summit in 1992, for the first time in history, a child stood up and questioned those responsible for taking care of our planet. Our actions do not reflect our words: Planet Earth is still in the same state today, and Severn, now an adult, is expecting her first child. She once again takes the floor, explaining that although the situation is urgent, there is still time to make a change. In this emotional documentary filled with hope, Severn stands as a reference for those who, from Canada to Japan, passing by France, are taking concrete and positive action to respect biodiversity. But who will answer Severn's appeal for change? Severn, the Voice of Our Children is the sequel to Food Beware: The French Organic Revolution (aka That Should Not Be: Our Children Will Accuse Us).

In 1992, 12-year-old Severn Suzuki, daughter of famed scientist and nature-show host David Suzuki, spoke at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janiero and urged world leaders to take action on environmental change. Nearly 20 years later, a pregnant Suzuki reflects on what has happened since she made that speech in this beautiful, thoughtful examination of the effects of environmental policy. It is a reminder that parents must answer for the world being left for their children.

1992, A 12 years old child calls out to the whole planet. 18 years later, The Earth is still in the same state and Severn speaks again, showing that despite the emergency, it is still possible to change the course of things in order to respect biodiversity. Who will answer Severn's call?
