More than 200 attend hybrid film screening for "The Ants and the Grasshopper"
The PLTS Center for Climate Justice & Faith and Lutherans Restoring Creation co-hosted a screening of the award-winning film The Ants and the Grasshopper on Monday, February 6th. After the film screening we were joined by director Raj Patel via Zoom for a wonderful Q&A session. There were approximately 30 people watching on campus at PLTS and over 200 watching online.
The filmmakers are hoping to reach more people with the film, if you are part of a community that would like to screen the film, please reach out to Sarah Berg at sarahberg@plts.edu.
