The film follows a chronological, diary narrative arc starting with Weaver's nomination and following through to his first speech to the Legislative Assembly in Victoria, British Columbia.
Interwoven with the story of Weaver's campaign are secondary parallel threads looking at how other scientists working in the field of climate and climate policy have undertaken acts of civil disobedience to protest government policy on coal, oil and natural gas expansion in the U.S.A. and Canada.
Running on Climate premiered at the DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver in May 2015.
