My Take
Avi Lewis interests me because he refuses to stay in one lane. A broadcaster, documentary filmmaker, and now a party leader, he carries the persuasive instincts honed in journalism straight into political action. Films like This Changes Everything show someone willing to confront climate and economic questions head-on rather than circle them safely. Raised in a political family, he could have coasted on a name, but instead chose the harder path of putting himself on the line. I respect that consistency between what he argues and what he actually does; talk is cheap, and Lewis seems determined to spend more than words.
