Climate change is quickly approaching a series of disastrous turning points. Joshua Goldstein, an award-winning scholar of international relations, suggests in his book, A Bright Future, that a solution is hiding in plain sight. Goldstein explains how Sweden, France, and South Korea have already replaced fossil fuels with advanced nuclear technology while enjoying prosperity and growing energy use.

Summary: For nearly 70 years, students and alumni of Wells High School in Maine have called themselves the “Warriors.” Their yearbook is named for the Abenaki, the Indigenous people the town’s settlers first encountered in the 1600s. The school’s mascot, variations of a stoic Native American head in profile with braids and feathered headband, has drawn both support and criticism in the past. However, during the 2017 fall athletic season, an incident shocks the town and reignites the debate. We Are The Warriors follows the citizenry of Wells, a population that includes Indigenous Peoples, as they convene to speak, hear each other, and seek consensus. And by inviting Wabanaki voices from across the state to join the conversation, including the mother whose experience ignited the debate, the residents of Wells work to better understand the lasting effects of their colonial past and how it relates to the present-day impact of their good intentions.2023 / United States / EnglishDirector: David Camlin and Megan GrumblingRunning time: 72 minutes
