Churches & Faith-Based Organizations
The documentary film, The Ants and the Grasshopper, offers an important story about what missionary work looks like in a time of climate change. The film also addresses themes such as hunger, climate change, and race.
The documentary film is therefore a helpful prompt for Christian communities seeking to understand what Christianity requires in the twenty-first century.
