FFE Eco-Film “Choosing Earth; Choosing Life” via Zoom

Join us online to view & discuss our growing planetary crisis through the documentary “Choosing Earth; Choosing Life”

Register here today to join the Sisters and other Franciscans For Earth on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 6:30 to 8 pm Central via Zoom, for a free screening and discussion of the film Choosing Earth; Choosing Life. This 63-minute documentary explores the speed, depth and magnitude of our growing planetary meta crisis, and the opportunity we have to meet this crisis consciously – with eyes and hearts wide open.

Through a broad, whole-systems perspective, the film examines key challenges (climate change, inequities, species extinction, overconsumption, and more) and explores the deeper transformation being called forth from humanity. Woven throughout are stories from around the world illustrating both heart-breaking impacts and inspiring resilience. Engaging with this paradox—an unfolding global crisis paired with the opportunity to awaken to and serve the well-being of all of life—is the work of our lifetimes.

Produced and directed by Coleen LeDrew Elgin, the film features Duane Elgin, Victoria Santos, Jack Kornfield, Joanna Macy, Nate Hagens, Beena Sharma, Lynne Twist, Todd Lando, Rama Mani, Barbara Easterlin, Jan Edl Stein and other contributors who grapple with this paradox and offer guidance for navigating the times ahead.
