Ants And The Grasshopper

As part of our Food & Climate Action Project, we are running a series of Food & Climate film clubs this winter! Join us for our first screening of the season.

The film will start at 18.30, please arrive and be seated before this time. Feel free to bring your own food and drink.

Stay after the film for a discussion over a delicious, vegan meal from Milk!

Film Description:

Anita Chitaya seems unstoppable: her tireless work is transforming farming practices in her village in Malawi and turning gender discrimination on its head. But in her battle against drought and extreme weather events, she takes on her greatest challenge yet: persuading Americans that climate change is real.

She visits rural farms and urban food cooperatives across the US, navigating deep national divisions (across race, gender, and the rural-urban divide), while appealing to those in a position of privilege to embrace change with the urgency the climate crisis demands.
