Today’s DocFest Exchange highlight film is The Ants and the Grasshopper (2021).

The Ants and the Grasshopper (2021) Raj Patel, Zak Piper
Change begins with denial. Anita Chitaya knows this very well. But she has a gift; she can help bring abundant food from dead soil, she can make men fight for gender equality, and she can end child hunger in her village. Now, to save her home from extreme weather, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real.


This film will be available to watch online until Sun 14 Jun, as part of the DocFest Exchange: Beyond Our Own Eyes programme.

The DocFest Exchange is a year-round curated programme exploring themes of climate justice and the health of the planet. This year’s DocFest Exchange programme, titled Beyond Our Own Eyes, invites us to appreciate perspectives beyond our own, asking what possibilities emerge when we open ourselves to other ways of seeing the world.

The full programme - including film screenings, talks, and workshops – will be available online from 4 - 13 June. Check out the full programme here.
