Synopsis

Global warming, fracking, privacy, election fraud--the first book by Emmy Award winning director of Gasland tells his intimate and damning story of our world in crisis. With an introduction by Bill McKibben.

The rules have changed.
The water has changed.
The climate has changed.
The truth has changed.
We must change.
The Truth Has Changed captures the rapid-fire shocks that are changing the fabric of our lives--from 9/11 and the Iraq war, to fracking and the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill, to Hurricane Sandy, to relentless smear campaigns against climate scientists, to the fight for 100% renewable energy, to Standing Rock, to the 2016 presidential campaign, to Cambridge Analytica.
Our normal isn't normal anymore.
The paradigm shift that global warming represents parallels a paradigm shift in how we process truth. Both deeply affect democracy.
Josh Fox has had a front row seat--a first responder after 9/11, filming Deepwater close up from the air and on the ground, a member of the Bernie Sanders' delegation of the Democratic Platform Committee, risking his life to cross a bridge on Thanksgiving Day at Standing Rock, traveling around the country, shooting his films, talking to people everywhere he goes.
Josh's live one-man show, also called "The Truth Has Changed," has been in development with HBO with a debut at New York City's Town Hall on September 11 and 12, 2018, and then broadcast and turned into a film, and taken on an extended national tour.
Josh's film Gasland, a documentary on fracking, was nominated for an Academy Award, won an Emmy, captured the documentary top prize at Sundance, and educated the nation and the world on the threat to our water supply and our lives that fracking represents. Josh's short videos have been viewed over 60 million times.
The Truth Has Changed is his first book, and it's beautiful.
