The film entitled ‘The Planting of a Seed – Sustaining a community in a time of climate and ecological emergency’ celebrates the work of F.A.N (Friends And Neighbors Centre) and was made with lottery funding by Welsh film maker Joseff Morgan and Dr. Jennifer Rudd from Swansea University’s School of Management.

The screening took place at the F.A.N. center with an audience drawn from the local community, councilors and Senate members and was followed by a Q&A with Dr. Rudd.

The idea for the film was born out of conversations between Emma Knight, from F.A.N. and Dr. Rudd, who gives climate science talks to the group. After funding was secured to hire film maker Joseff Morgan, the three worked together to develop and direct the film.

The film leads the audience into the life of the F.A.N center, where activities are planned and executed with the health of the planet in mind. Teaching is large part of the community effort, ensuring that all generations are made aware of climate change, and how by doing small things, by helping the environment and helping each other, the community is making a big difference.
