PLANET FIRST
On her way to a climate-warming forum in NYC, a Catholic activist from Mexico City stops in a small paper mill town to attend a protest and be interviewed by a podcaster. She meets a man, also spiritual, who charms her and who’s as concerned about global warming as she is. When she learns why, holy hell breaks loose. Planet First is made possible in part by:
