On 28 November COP17, The U.N Climate Change Summit started in Durban, South Africa. The aim was for countries to draft up policies that would guide local governments in their fight against climate change. As the summit progressed the city was overrun with influential figures, such as the President of South Africa.

However, despite all the hype, the public remained sceptical about the Summit and its purpose.

So we created a radio mini-series that depicts a future where countries go to war over a resource we all take for granted. The series aired on a Durban station.
