Heritage Playhouse: Screening of ‘EMERGENCE: Women in the Storm’ | Sunshine Coast Climate Faire

To wrap up the second Sunshine Coast Climate Faire, join us for this special screening of ‘Emergence’, followed by Q&A with filmmakers Nova Ami & Velcrow Ripper! By donation.

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.
