Later is Too Late is a window into the fears and hopes of ordinary people across Canada facing the existential threat of the climate crisis and working to be part of the solutions. “It really scares me for my grandchildren,” and “we are motivated by our love of our grandchildren,” say participants.  The film documents the first ever National Seniors Day climate action, organized by Seniors for Climate, on October 1, 2024. Seniors, youth, Indigenous elders, environmental and climate justice activists across Turtle Island rallied in 76 communities from Pugwash NS to Victoria BC to Yellowknife NT.

Director Nancy Nicol (professor emerita, York University) is an award-winning documentary filmmaker with a long history of works on human rights and social justice. Later is Too Late is a participatory climate documentary co-produced by Nancy Nicol and Seniors for Climate. Seniors for Climate organizers and videographers in communities across Canada shared documentation of their events with Nancy, from which she created, Later is Too Late, a powerful documentary that tells a story of climate activism and hope for a better future.
