Synopsis and recommendation: These short films profile women who are confronting the impacts of climate change and leading community efforts to build resilience. They are unique in providing a vivid, honest and intimate look at the lives of the women featured. However, they do not provide framing or analysis of the issue, so you must be prepared to provide that and facilitate audience discussion.
