Help make some noise for the planet, as One Earth launches its 12th festival season! Enjoy appetizers, drinks, and mingling with filmmakers, environmentalists, activists, and like-minded guests—all ready to rally for our one Earth. A brief program will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m., with a previous One Earth Young Filmmakers Contest-winning film (“A Revolution Dance Against Petcoke”); opening remarks by Angela Tovar, Chicago’s Chief Sustainability Officer; and the exclusive screening of a short film (that’s not on the week’s festival schedule), followed by a keynote from Jahmal Cole, Founder & CEO of the change-making Chicago-based youth nonprofit, My Block, My Hood, My City (M3). M3’s mission speaks to how justice and empowerment—tools for restoring both people and planet—can remake our blocks, our neighborhoods, our cities, our countries, and our world.

FILM DESCRIPTION: Filmed over four years of hope and crisis, “To the End” captures the emergence of a new generation of leaders and the movement behind the most sweeping climate change legislation in U.S. history. The award-winning team follows four exceptional young women— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, activist Varshini Prakash, climate policy writer Rhiana Gunn-Wright, and political strategist Alexandra Rojas—as they grapple with new challenges of leadership and power and work together to defend their generation’s right to a future.
