Through stories of local people and activists, the film challenges depoliticised constructs of the climate crisis as solely 'natural' and instead draws attention to the ongoing colonial continuities underpinning the climate crisis and the structures of racial capitalism that create socio-spatial inequalities in environment and mobility.
