Anita Chitaya seems unstoppable: her tireless work is transforming farming practices in her village in Malawi and turning gender discrimination on its head. But in her battle against drought and extreme weather events, she takes on her greatest challenge yet: persuading Americans that climate change is real.

She visits rural farms and urban food cooperatives across the US, navigating deep national divisions (across race, gender, and the rural-urban divide), while appealing to those in a position of privilege to embrace change with the urgency the climate crisis demands.

DIVE DEEPER: The film will be introduced by Anita and her colleague/mentor, Esther Lupafyia (Director of Soils, Food and Healthy Communities – a farmer-led research project for food Security and nutrition in Malawi). Join us after the screening for live audience conversation with representatives from Scotland Malawi Partnership and Nourish Scotland.

The film is fully captioned for d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

Content notes: Contains references to gender-based violence and racism.

About Take One Action

Welcome to the 14th edition of the UK’s leading global change film festival!

After many months apart, we are so excited to be heading back to CCA to celebrate the power of community and connection through world-changing cinema. As Scotland prepares to host the UN Climate Conference (aka COP26) this November, our programme offers a much-needed opportunity to pause – and to question just how we arrived at the topsy-turvy reality we call our own.

To truly build back better, we need to witness and dream up different realities. Our excitingly diverse selection of documentaries, and the audience conversations we nurture, invite us to navigate our way into a new story – one that centres care, community, equity, accountability and sustainability.

Take a seat. Take a stand.

Take One Action is an ad-free festival: please take your seats in the cinema at the advertised start time.

Sliding scale ticketing

To make our events more accessible, we operate a sliding scale policy (thanks to SQIFF for leading the way) across all our venues and online. Choose what to pay based on your personal circumstances, from £0-10. All we ask is that you are honest with us so that we can continue offering this flexibility to those who need it most. When you pay a higher price for a ticket, you help subsidise a ticket for somebody on a lower income.

How much should I pay?

£0-2 - I find it difficult to meet everyday costs

£4-6 - I can meet everyday costs but sometimes find it stressful to do so

£6-8 - I can meet everyday costs

£10 - I can comfortably meet my everyday costs and have savings too
