Did you know AOC was in a climate change movie? Neither did we until just a couple of days ago. It’s setting quite a record though! Yes indeed. The movie, titled “To The End” is sinking faster than the Titanic did after smacking into that iceberg.

The last image that flashes before the title card on the documentary “To the End” is video captured from inside a car as it drives through a forest engulfed in flames. The footage shows the inferno of California’s wildfire season, and more than any image that follows, this opening presents a stark view of the apocalyptic effects of global climate change.

Keep in mind, AOC has made climate change a key issue of hers since getting elected to office in 2018. Thus, this so-called movie is a sequel of sorts, focusing on climate change. And the movie critics loved it. 

But the focus here is more about the Green New Deal, a vital change to infrastructure in America that could help fight against global warming and save American economy as the clock ticks. “To the End” shows the momentum of Ocasio-Cortez’s youthful spirit, this time spread out in groups that are creating awareness, marching across the country, and not usually given the amount of on-camera love that Lears provides here.

“To the End” is more all-hands-on-deck than “Knock Down the House,” and it wants to offer less of a cohesive narrative as it follows these different leading activists, like Rhiana Gunn-Wright, Alexandra Rojas of Justice Democrats, and Varshini Prakash of Sunrise Movement. Lears’ film gives them exposure that the media did not, like when Green New Deal activists blocked all the entrances to the White House, hoping to get Joe Biden’s attention. She has great access, and it’s more about the broader sense of the fight, and of showing what attitude, determination, and courage fuels them. It’s inspiring to see, and “To the End” is set to ignite more Americans to take action. One setback is that it doesn’t feel to offer too clear a sense of what’s in the Green New Deal; instead it’s about what a positive future these leaders could bring, especially if Congress gets their act together, and gets behind them.

Therefore, someone made the decision to run this movie lecture in 120 theaters across the country. It’s gonna be BIG! It will rake in the money! People will flock to the theaters in droves to see AOC attempt a hike along the Appalachian Trail. And, ultimately, people will respond and force Congress to actually DO SOMETHING!

Well, people certainly DID SOMETHING! 

This it the end, my friend.

Roadside Attractions' documentary on climate change, TO THE END, "starring" AOC, was voted out of the box office–just $9,667 in 120 theaters, $81 per.

Yes, $81 per.

Yes folks, you read that correctly. The wind was not blowing in AOC’s direction. Heck it wasn’t blowing at all. As Christian Toto reports here, the movie was in 33rd place and compared to previous climate change movies or Al Gore’s lecture documentaries, AOC’s movie barely made it off the cutting room floor. 

Seriously, 120 theaters and a paltry $81 bucks PER THEATER was the haul? I can’t help but laugh. People want to go to movies to escape from reality for a couple of hours. They don’t want movies that are yelling lectures about how doomed our planet supposedly is and how it will take the costly Inflation Reduction Act to save us from climate change. No, they want escapism. They want movies like Top Gun: Maverick, not shrill activism. 

Republican Senator John Kennedy is totally on point here. 

Kennedy said many of those who follow Ocasio-Cortez believe America to be “wicked” and the people behind the film – which grossed an estimated $80 per theater in its opening weekend – are part of an unhelpful “media-entertainment-industrial-complex,” he said.

“The movie about Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez makes me appreciate Elon Musk that much more,” Kennedy said, adding that Ocasio-Cortez’ film, like her far-left politics, only presents a view critical to the mainstream.

As he points out, many of AOC’s supporters don’t like mainstream Americans. If we are white men and women, they dislike us. They don’t like American history and refuse to look at people as individuals. It’s all about status and the narrative. Never mind the inconvenient truths that climate change isn’t based upon science. Nor that solar and wind can power a city let alone a town without major subsidies. Nope, they have their narrative, which, in this movie evidently involves lots of yelling and some hiking. 

By the way, while the movie may be a flop, AOC herself is hiring!

With all of the poverty, crime, education disparity and housing inequality issues in your district, your primary focus is climate and environmental Justice??? You continue to have an agenda that is completely self-serving. Shame!

Well, yes she does. Maybe the new policy person will have an idea as to whom to blame for the box office flop.

AOC has 13 million followers on twitter but couldn't sell $10,000 in tickets to her movie. Weird.

How’s that for an inconvenient truth? “To The End” is aptly named. You know it’s less than a dud when AOC can’t even get her millions of followers to watch her movie.
