Climate fiction & reimagining the future

Anurag Papolu and Christina Li

This week, we're in conversation with Dr. Michael Svoboda, a professor of writing at George Washington University, to discuss how the climate crisis is depicted in movies and books. 

We talk about why movies aren’t exactly inspiring us to change the world through climate change stories, and how we can improve that. 

Dr. Svoboda regularly reviews most forms of climate related media, and he shares with us some of his favorite cli-fi films.
