'Following Director Kathy Drayton's daughter Imogen as she becomes a young adult in a world increasingly affected by global warming, The Weather Diaries sees temperatures rise, bushfires rage, and flying foxes die in record numbers, while studying the effect on Imogen and her pursuit of a musical career.
'Ruminating on our failure to understand the effects of climate change and its implications for future generations, this is a story both personal and political, with Drayton examining the reality of living with climate anxiety against a backdrop of powerful ignorance.
'A contemplative home-grown documentary, musing on motherhood, climate anxiety, bat conservation, and what it means to be growing up and finding creative success in a world literally on fire.'
