Project Summary:

The NAU Green Fund, in collaboration with Green Jacks, the College of Arts and Letters, and the Office of Sustainability, successfully hosted the 2025 Better World Film Series to engage the campus community in critical environmental conversations. Led by a dedicated team of students and faculty—including Ani Johnson, Amanda Schofer, Dr. Kent Linthicum, and Dr. Katrina Maggiulli—the series featured public screenings of the compelling documentaries “Gather” and “We Are Guardians.” These films deeply explored themes of Indigenous food sovereignty and advocacy efforts to protect the Amazon Rainforest from deforestation. By combining powerful storytelling with community gathering and shared meals, the initiative successfully educated students and staff from various disciplines, heightening awareness of environmental justice and inspiring attendees to advocate for positive, sustainable change.
