When the alarm sounds, who actually answers?
A new documentary from Patagonia Films, THIS IS NOT A DRILL, puts that question front and center. Following frontline organizers, unlikely allies, and communities standing up to Big Oil and environmental injustice, the latest Patagonia x Storyville Films Production is one you don’t want to miss.
The 80-minute film, directed by Oren Jacoby and written by Betsy West, traces the work of grassroots leaders like Roishetta Ozane, Justin J. Pearson, and Sharon Wilson, alongside a surprising cohort of rebellious Rockefeller heirs, as they challenge the systems driving climate harm.
The story is urgent, but grounded. It’s about the neighbors, parents, organizers and more who refuse to accept environmental sacrifice zones as the cost of doing business. And it makes a compelling case that real change doesn’t just come from institutions, but from individuals willing to step up when it matters most.
The best part? You can watch it now, for free.
🎬 THIS IS NOT A DRILL is streaming on YouTube via Patagonia.
