From Oscar-nominated filmmakers Betsy West and Oren Jacoby, "This Is Not a Drill" documents three unlikely heroes confronting the powerful fossil fuel industry amidst escalating extreme weather. Justin J. Pearson rallies a multiracial coalition against a crude oil pipeline in Memphis, Roishetta Ozane transforms personal loss into political action in Louisiana, and Sharon Wilson, a former oil insider, exposes invisible methane leaks in Texas.

Backed by John D. Rockefeller's descendants, this coalition uncovers "Big Oil’s Big Con"—an industry promoting fossil fuels while disguising the truth. This Patagonia film showcases how courage, grit, and determination can inspire grassroots victories against powerful forces.

Published on June 18, 2015, by Democracy Now, this report covers Pope Francis's encyclical on the environment and climate change. In the encyclical (available to download here), Pope Francis called for urgent action to protect the planet, urging leaders to hear "the cry of the Earth and the cry of the poor." He emphasized a moral imperative for all to safeguard the environment, advocating for a shift from a "throwaway" consumer culture in rich countries and an end to attitudes that prioritize profit over the common good. A key theme is the disparity between rich and poor, with the Pope noting the vast difference between those in "desperate and degrading poverty" and those with excessive possessions.

The discussion features Naomi Klein, author of "This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate," who was invited to speak at the Vatican's "People and Planet First: The Imperative to Change Course" conference. Also joining is Nathan Schneider, a columnist at America magazine, a national Catholic weekly published by the Jesuits.
