JUST LOOK UP follows Michael Greenberg, a brazen visionary and founder of Climate Defiance, a disruptive youth movement. In the tradition of Gandhi's Satyagraha, the Civil Rights Movement, and ACT UP, they use radical nonviolent direct action to jolt society awake, calling out Big Oil, corporate CEOs, and the politicians who enable them. The film charts a motley, idealistic crew improvising, failing, regrouping, and pushing on to protect the planet. As they press forward, the film's propulsive soundtrack is not background but fuel, with Chappell Roan, Doechii, and Billie Eilish pushing the pace and sharpening the stakes for a generation with no room to fail.
