Anita Chitaya from Malawi faces the consequences of climate change, much like other small farmers in poor countries. On a trip across the USA she has the chance to confront those causing climate change.

African farmer Anita Chitaya is a woman of action. In her Malawi village she fights against gender stereotypes and undernourishment, cares for dying soil and teaches her neighbours how to grow drought-resistant crops. But she has set an even greater task for herself: she wants to protect her village from extreme weather. A part of her mission is to prove to Americans that climate change is happening here and now. Anita travels from Malawi to the USA to meet politicians, climate sceptics and farmers. She says: “While the rich are debating what to do, poor people have to endure.” Can one Malawi woman’s thoughts and actions motivate people who seem to be living on a different planet?
