The Film:

Register here today to join the Sisters and other Franciscans For Earth on Tuesday, January 14, 2025, at 6:30 pm Central via Zoom, for a free screening and discussion of the film “Eating Our Way to Extinction: When food costs the earth, who pays the price?”

According to the website, Eating2Extinction.com, this 2021 film “takes audiences on a cinematic journey around the world, from the depths of the Amazon rainforests to the Taiwanese Mountains, the Mongolian desert, the US Dust Bowl, the Norwegian Fjords, and the Scottish coastlines, telling the story of our planet through shocking testimonials, poignant accounts from indigenous people most affected by our everchanging planet, globally renowned figures, and leading scientists. This powerful documentary sends a simple but impactful message by uncovering hard truths and addressing the most pressing issue of our generation — ecological collapse. Confronting and entertaining, this documentary allows audiences to question their everyday choices, industry leaders, and governments. Narrated by Kate Winslet and featuring a wealth of world-renowned contributors, including Sir Richard Branson and Tony Robbins, it has a message of hope that will empower audiences.

This acclaimed film has won many awards around the world including being 2022’s Best Feature Documentary of the Green Film Network. Click here to view the trailer.
