Hot Times in the Heartland Documentary Screening

As our planet continues to warm, we are experiencing an increase in extreme weather of all types. How is the changing climate impacting us and what’s being done locally to address the challenges we face? A feature-length documentary entitled “Hot Times in the Heartland” explores a range of activities taking place in Kansas and across the Great Plains. It spotlights individuals and organizations directly involved with various approaches designed to mitigate the impact of climate change and to help communities adapt to changing conditions.

This program has been produced by Dave Kendall of Prairie Hollow Productions, former host of the “Sunflower Journeys” series on public television, with the assistance of Rex Buchanan, director emeritus of the Kansas Geological Survey, and Laura Mead, a multimedia artist grounded in the tallgrass prairie of the Flint Hills.
