Welcome to the seventh episode of the fourth season of Explore Explain, a long-form video and podcast series about data visualisation design.
I am delighted to welcome Amanda Shendruk, Opinion Graphics Reporter at the Washington Post, based in Edinburgh, UK. We explore the story behind Amanda’s visual article for Opinions titled ‘Audiences want a different climate change message. Hollywood should deliver.‘ looking at the portrayal of climate change in movies and TV shows.
Here are links to some of the key references or resources mentioned during this episode:
- Amanda’s Washington Post profile and portfolio

- Tweet launching the project
- Michael Svoboda’s article ‘Cli-fi movies: A guide for socially-distanced viewers‘ and paper ‘Cli-fi on the screen(s): Patterns in the representations of climate change in fictional films‘
