The Story

December 1997, Kyoto Conference Centre. The world is holding its breath as diplomats from 160 countries push, shove, and propel for some big climate hoo-ha. Don Pearlman, a charismatic American lawyer hired by the oil lobby, is steering the agenda to protect his life’s work. But as the hours stretch past the limit and world powers clash over commas and brackets, something extraordinary starts to take shape. In the pressure cooker of international politics, one determined Argentine, Raúl Estrada-Oyuela, must navigate a maze of competing interests to achieve the impossible: a unanimous commitment to save our planet.
