causing food scarcity. Anita Chitaya has a talent for persuasion, and decides
to travel to America, traveling from California to the White House, meeting
climate skeptics and despairing farmers. Join us to see how Anita faces her
greatest challenge. Part travelog and part an exploration of farming, culture,
