On Tuesday, April 27, the Sturgis Library will host a discussion of the film, “Fire + Flood: Queer Resilience in the Era of Climate Change.” The film will be available to be viewed at home prior to the discussion. Upon registration for the program, a link to the film will be provided. The film and discussion are both free.
“Fire + Flood: Queer Resilience in the Era of Climate Change” tells the story of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the fires in Santa Rosa, California, two-near simultaneous climate-related disasters in the fall of 2017, through the voices of LGBTQ people who lived through them and were part of the community response. The film explores the vulnerability of LGBTQ communities to climate disasters and also lifts up queer and trans strategies for resilience, transition and survival.
The film was piloted at the National LGBTQ Task Force’s Creating Change Conference in January 2018, with positive feedback on the need for these stories in the LGBTQ movement.
The program is being presented through a grant from the American Library Association’s Resilient Communities Program. Email sturgisreference@comcast.net to register.
