Paris to Pittsburgh is a 2018 television documentary film about climate change directed by National Geographic filmmaker Sidney Beaumont and documentarian Michael Bonfiglio and produced by Bloomberg Philanthropies, National Geographic and RadicalMedia.[1] The film is narrated by Rachel Brosnahan.[2]
The film was first broadcast on December 12, 2018, in the United States on National Geographic.[3]
The title of the documentary refers to the phrase used by President Donald Trump on June 1, 2017, when he announced that he was pulling the United States out of the Paris Agreement.[4] Trump said, "I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris." In response, Bill Peduto, then-Mayor of Pittsburgh, wrote: "As the Mayor of Pittsburgh, I can assure you that we will follow the guidelines of the Paris Agreement for our people, our economy and future."[5][6][Notes 1]
