Better World Film Series
Project Summary:
The Better World Film Series is a powerful educational initiative at Northern Arizona University that explores the intersection of climate change and cultural identity. Co-hosted by the Green Jacks, the Office of Sustainability, the Latino Student Union (LSU), the Spanish Club, the Filipino American Student Association (FASA), and the Hawaiian Club (HAPA), this ongoing series features three distinct documentary screenings: “A Good Neighbor,” “Delikado,” and “Railroading Paradise.” Following each film at the Cline Library Assembly Hall, student-led discussion panels provide a platform to explore the disproportionate impacts of environmental issues on marginalized groups and share personal stories related to climate change. By centering diverse voices and experiences, this collaborative event successfully engages the NAU campus in critical conversations, fostering a deeper, campus-wide understanding of environmental justice and global sustainability challenges.
