The Ants and the Grasshopper
Virtual Screening and Discussion on Environmental Equity
March 22
5:30 p.m. PST
Anita Chitaya has a gift; she can help bring abundant food from dead soil, she can make men fight for gender equality, and she can end child hunger in her village. Now, to save her home from extreme weather, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real.
This documentary, ten years in the making, weaves together the most urgent themes of our times: climate change, gender and racial inequality, the gaps between the rich and the poor, and the ideas that groups around the world have generated in order to save the planet.
A panel discussion with Zilanie NyaGondwe, Director – Institute for the Conservation of Nature (Malawi) and Raj Patel, Co-director of The Ants and the Grasshopper will follow the film. Delana Gbenekama, the City of Santa Monica’s Equity and Communications Coordinator will moderate the panel.
When: Tuesday, March 22nd 5:30 pm
Where: This is a Virtual Event but you must register in advance
The event is free for all attendees.
Presented by: City of Santa Monica and Sustainable Works
