As the rate of hateful legislation rises across the State of Florida, so too are the severity and frequency of climate disasters, creating compounding threats to the safety of socially-targeted communities. Meanwhile, the same politicians trying to erase history from the classroom through the “Stop Woke” act are enriching their bank accounts through fossil fuel projects driving climate change. This rapid mini-documentary meets with queer and trans community organizers, mutual aid activists, and environmental educators as they uncover the web of entanglements between the anti-change culture wars and climate change.

Through deep intersectional storytelling and a collaborative production process, “Fighting Change” points towards a proactive strategy for community resilience to storms and state violence alike.
