The Hard Rain film was launched on DVD at the opening of the Hard Rain exhibition in Copenhagen on 6 December 2009 – the eve of the United Nations Climate Conference. It combines the images from Hard Rain with a rare live version of Bob Dylan performing A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall at Carnegie Hall, New York.
The film is accompanied by a booklet containing a specially commissioned essay by Lloyd Timberlake. The Urgency of Now cuts through the muddled thinking and failed policies that have delayed a radically new worldwide approach to climate change, the wasteful use of resources, poverty, habitat loss and species extinction.
