Plays with Short film - Humanity Has Not Failed Yet before the feature film.

Youth v Gov is the story of America’s youth taking on the world’s most powerful government.


Since 2015, twenty-one plaintiffs, now ages 13 to 24, have been suing the U.S. government for violating their constitutional rights to life, liberty, personal safety, and property through their willful actions in creating the climate crisis they will inherit.


But Youth v Gov is about more than just a lawsuit. It is the story of empowered youth finding their voices and fighting to protect their rights and our collective future.


This is a revolution designed to hold those in power accountable for the past and responsible for a sustainable future. And many of the movement’s leaders aren’t even old enough to vote (Yet.)
