What’s the best way to prepare for a disaster? In today’s era of mega-storms, raging wildfires and record-breaking floods, that question is on the minds of many. In a film adapted from Eric Kinenberg’s book HEAT WAVE: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago, director Judith A. Helfand takes viewers on a journey from the deadly 1995 Chicago heat wave to the extreme weather and the politics of disaster that define today’s modern era, posing the question: What if a zip code was just a number and not a life-or-death sentence?

Canadian filmmaker, writer and educator Chanda Chevannes is passionate about social change. Her hopeful documentary, UNFRACTURED, follows biologist and mother Sandra Steingraber as she reinvents herself as an outspoken activist and throws herself into an environmental war that many believe is unwinnable. It’s about fighting for something you believe in with your whole heart.
