Later is Too Late is directed by award-winning filmmaker Nancy Nicol and features 88-year-old David Suzuki as well asother seniors and elders challenging policymakers, corporations, and public perception as they fight for a better future for their children and grandchildren.

Local organizers are bringing the film to Kelowna as part of a nationwide effort to raise awareness and inspire action.
