'coalition of the willing' is a collaborative animated film and web-based event about an online war against global warming in a 'post copenhagen' world.
it has been directed and produced by knife party, written by tim rayner and crafted by a network of 24 artists from around the world using varied and eclectic film making techniques.
this optimistic and principled film explores how we could use new internet technologies to leverage the powers of activists, experts, and ordinary citizens in collaborative ventures to combat climate change. through analyses of swarm activity and social revolution, 'coalition of the willing' makes a compelling case for the new online activism and explains how to hand the fight against global warming to the people.
