Film Preview - Ants and Grasshoppers

Cinema City

23/09/22

“From the sun-beaten soil of Malawi, to the expansive and arid pastures of rural America, climate change continues to make its mark across the globe. However, this change hasn’t gone unnoticed, and Anita Chikaya, resident of a small Malawian village, understands that something must be done.

Throughout ‘The Ants and the Grasshopper’, a documentary as rich in visual beauty as thought-provoking ideals, Chikaya drives the narrative forward as she sets out on a journey to better the mindsets of all those who’ll listen - as well as all those won’t. Beginning with the breakdown of outdated gender roles in her home village, our charismatic heroine soon goes on to challenge the entire American farming industry, with filmmakers Raj Patel and Zak Piper hot at her heels, capturing this eye-opening journey in stunning detail every step of the way.

The Ants and Grasshopper is showing at Cinema City on 24th September, 26th and 27th
