Synopsis: 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. Traveling from Malawi to California to the White House, it will take all her skill and experience to help Americans recognize, and free themselves from, a logic that is already destroying the Earth.

Critics' reviews

"The crumbs of optimism it sprinkles on the audience are probably a commercial necessity (...) As a film to show those starting to question their thoughts about the climate crisis, this might be an effective consciousness raiser (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Leslie Felperin: The Hollywood Reporter
