Director John Webster persuades his family to change his lifestyle for one year - to travel only on public transport, not to buy anything in plastic packaging, not to fly by plane and so on. In a word, to live a life harmless to planet Earth, without giving up the pleasures of middle-class family life. All those things we don’t or can’t stop doing and are recipes for disaster. In this comedy, the characters themselves begin to question their values and examine their will and then their happiness.
"Disaster Recipes is a provocative, entertaining, and hopefully inspiring film about what climate change can mean to an ordinary family," says director John Webster.
