I didn't grow up watching The Dark Crystal, but I knew I was going to be into the prequel show, and I was. It's weird and slow-paced and breaks new ground in puppetry while telling a dark story about apocalyptic climate change and climate denialism. The only possible song for a vid about it was Vienna Teng's scathing take on climate negotiations. I'm reminded of Greta Thunberg's speech at the latest (failed) round in Madrid: “Well I am telling you there is hope. I have seen it. But it does not come from governments or corporations. It comes from the people.”
