In the new Showtime series, “
Years of Living Dangerously,” the story of global climate change is told by a series of celebrity “correspondents” — including Jessica Alba, Don Cheadle, Harrison Ford and Thomas Friedman. But the real stars of the series are the people who are living with the consequences of a warming world — or working to reduce the harmful effects.
One of those profiled is
Brendan Edgerton M.E.M. ‘15 M.B.A. ‘15, whom filmmakers chose to spotlight while he was an Environmental Defense Fund Climate Corps Fellow last summer. In an interview, Edgerton explains how he ended up in the series, what it was like to have a camera crew following his every move, and what he hopes will come out of the film.
