To mark Earth Day 2025, Cinetopia:DOC is proud to host the UK premiere of THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT, a revelatory journey through a pivotal moment in the history of the climate crisis. Using exclusively archival footage as narrative, THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT transports viewers back to 1988-1992, when the world stood at a crossroads in addressing global warming - the 'greenhouse effect'. This compelling documentary exposes how President George H.W. Bush's administration, caught between increasingly alarming scientific evidence and mounting pressure from industrial titans, as well as battling rifts within his own White House team, ultimately undermined crucial climate action at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. This decision dramatically altered our planet's future and set us on the path towards our current climate emergency. From the acclaimed filmmaking team behind ATHLETE A, AN INCONVENIENT SEQUEL:TRUTH TO POWER, and the Oscar-nominated LEAD ME HOME, THE WHITE HOUSE EFFECT is an unflinching look at how political battles within the White House, and media narratives outside of it, shaped our environmental destiny. Co-directors Bonni Cohen, Pedro Kos, and Jon Shenk masterfully weave archival material to uncover the fascinating and damning origin story of our climate crisis, connecting the dots between past decisions and today's challenges with devastating precision. This special Earth Day screening invites audiences to understand not just how we arrived at our current climate reality, but also to reflect on the power of decisive action, and the consequences of missed opportunities as we continue to confront one of humanity's greatest challenges. Cinetopia:DOC is a monthly documentary club bringing audiences together to watch, discuss and connect around the documentary genre and craft.

On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono. Macdonald’s riveting documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko. By 1971 the couple was newly arrived in the United States— living in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watching a huge amount of American television.

Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the NYC apartment the duo shared, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two of history’s most influential artists.
