Filmed over four years of hope and crisis, TO THE END captures the emergence of a new generation of leaders and the movement behind the most sweeping climate change legislation in U.S. history. Award-winning director Rachel Lears (Knock Down The House) follows four exceptional young women--Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas--as they grapple with new challenges of leadership and power and work together to defend their generation's right to a future. From street protests to the halls of Congress, these bold leaders fight to shift the narrative around climate, revealing the crisis as an opportunity to build a better society. Including up-to-the-minute footage that culminates in 2022's landmark climate bill, TO THE END lifts the veil on the battle for the future of our world, and gives audiences a front seat view of history in the making.

Throughout To the End, there is a clear sense of urgency to the call for action. Go to Full Review Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap 12/08/2022
One of the subjects of “To the End” notes that she wants to “speak things into existence.” It’s a painfully poignant wish, representative of the blend of optimism, desperation, and determination that powers the entire film. Go to Full Review Teo Bugbee New York Times 12/08/2022
Representative Ocasio-Cortez offers the best onscreen antidote to despair — she’s funny, a canny political strategy. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 05/09/2023
Despite its rather-too-broad approach to its subject matter, To the End is a compelling on-the-ground behind-the-scenes over-the-shoulder glimpse at the mechanisms of American progressive politics. Go to Full Review Dan Schindel Hyperallergic 02/17/2023
Despite "To the End"’s insistence on hope, its most indelible moments are those that are honest about the understandable trepidation so many of us feel about the future. Go to Full Review Joel Copling Spectrum Culture 12/13/2022
There is no doubt that this issue is fundamental to a functioning and existing society. This documentary is simply not the film to tackle it head-on. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Travis B @RT03938002 06/24/2025 Its hard watching dated material cause you look back and think " wow none of this changed anything and wasted everyone's time." See more Andrew W @RT52488255 01/03/2023 Absolutely terrible. You'd be better off spending 90 minutes as an NVA POW. See more 12/18/2022 A pack of lies. Boring. See more Emile D @RT47048832 12/17/2022 Quite possibly the worst piece of visual media I have seen in my life. See more Derek H @RT91399782 12/16/2022 Wow. Egos aside, there is nothing big about this. See more Drew C @drewcurley 12/16/2022 Incoherent, failing all logic, terrible story that feels more like a bad soap than a documentary.
