Summary
"Duty of Care tells the exclusive, inside story of Roger Cox, the first and only lawyer to have successfully sued a government and an oil giant in landmark court cases that established catastrophic climate change can be made illegal. Roger's ground-breaking cases against the Dutch government and oil giant Shell established that those in power owe a duty of care to citizens to avoid catastrophic climate change, stunning legal experts and sending shockwaves through parliaments and corporate boardrooms around the world. With interviews from experts and activists leading the wave of international climate litigations triggered by Roger's successes, the filim presents a fresh and inspiring story for future generations of climate leaders. Can Roger, now one of Time Magazine's top 100 people, and the other pioneers of climate litigation succeed before it's too late?"--Container.
