From Anxiety to Action (2023-2024)

From Anxiety to Action — The summer of 2023 is when climate denialism finally had to die. Not a single American escaped the impacts of climate change, frequently repeatedly. Whether it was blotted skies choking with wildfire smoke from record Canadian wildfires, record-breaking heat waves with unrelenting highs unbroken at night, or catastrophic flooding that washed away life and property, anywhere you went climate change reared its head. It was terrifying and disconcerting and left many cowering with anxiety and feelings of helplessness. 

But that’s not where we can afford as a society to stay.

From Anxiety to Action is our attempt to help us find a way forward, whether on climate change or any number of “wicked” problems in sustainability by providing stories of people coming together to take action and discovering renewed resilience through action. From rebuilding modern capitalism to fixing public education, these films set the stage for important conversations about how we can heal our anxious souls while healing our societies, too.
