This documentary follows Anita Chitaya, a knowledgeable Malawian woman who can extract abundant food from dead soil and end child hunger in her home village, on a journey to California and the White House, trying to persuade Americans that climate change is real and a threat not only to her homeland but to the United States too, but it will take all her skill to open the eyes of local farmers and politicians alike. Raj Patel and Zak Piper’s engaging documentary is a powerful reminder that climate change has consequences that apply to everyone. (Copy written by Anna Kopecká) This screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
