Irresistable film

I Count – the campaign of the Stop Climate Chaos coalition and NGO partner of Live Earth UK - is proud to announce the release of the – I’m Irresistible, I Count  film.

Directed by award winning Gerald McMorrow and with a soundtrack by Malakai, this film features many famous faces including T4’s Alex Zane, Richard Coyle, Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell, actress Sophie Myles, Terra Naomi and cool new band The Metros.

The message of the film is simple – individually we are great – together we are irresistible. Taking steps together we can tackle climate chaos and persuade governments to do so too.
