Earth Week Film Screening & Panel Discussion Fundraiser To support Cyclone Idai relief efforts
Tuesday, April 23, 2019, 6-9pm | Studio C, Meridian Mall, Okemos | Free admission
Five years ago Kisilu, a Kenyan farmer, started to use his camera to capture the life of his family, his village and the damages of climate change. When a violent storm throws him and a Norwegian filmmaker together we see him transform from a father, to community leader to an activist on the global stage.
Thank You For The Rain addresses a range of issues linked to climate change, including climate justice, urbanization, gender equality, education, access to water, climate refugees, and adaptation.
