Upcoming Episodes
The Tranformative Power of Film on Climate Action, January 5
Communities in the global south have been impacted by climate change for many years. The film, The Ants & The Grasshopper, follows Malawian farmer Anita Chitaya as she navigates race, gender, and faith to travel to the U.S. to convince Americans that climate change is a real and urgent threat. Join us as we talk to award-winning author, academic, and film-maker Raj Patel to discuss how his new documentary shows the transformative power of faith and community in the face of the climate crisis. Blessed Tomorrow partners are hosting free screenings of the film with follow-up sermons and bible studies.
