About this Event
To wrap up the second annual Sunshine Coast Climate Faire, join us for a special screening of EMERGENCE: Women in the Storm, followed by a Q&A with filmmakers Nova Ami and Velcrow Ripper. This event is by donation to keep it accessible to everyone.
Climate change is here. As heat domes, atmospheric rivers and wildfires reshape our world, how do we protect what matters most? EMERGENCE: Women in the Storm goes beyond the headlines to explore how women are navigating climate emergencies.
Recent disasters, including the wildfire that burned the town of Lytton to the ground and the devastating floods in the Fraser Valley, are seen through the eyes of survivors, while emergency responders and community organizers provide perspectives on preparing for – and moving beyond – the worst. Meghan Fandrich’s reflective readings from Burning Sage: Poems from the Lytton Fire, written after losing her town to the blaze, are woven together with stories of healing, resilience and hope in the face of an uncertain future.
Intimate and beautifully crafted, the film offers insights on how to live in this new reality, finding ways to carry on without giving up.
