Watch “Cooked: Survival by Zipcode” tonight, and then join us and Climate Smart Missoula tomorrow, July 29, from 12-1 p.m. for a panel discussion.
As the title suggests, this provocative film explores how disasters, like COVID and the climate crisis, reveal deep inequalities. It explores the politics of disaster preparedness and recovery through the lens of the 1995 Chicago heat wave, and shows how damage from so-called “natural” disasters is too often the result of very human-made causes: poverty and racism.
