She meets filmmakers, farmers, CEOs, Elders and shopkeepers who, like her, are asking: what now?From the push to make Melbourne’s River Yarra swimmable again, to people-owned power in Bristol, England, to children speaking Gumbaynggirr in a Coffs Harbour school hall as if the language never left, these stories show what happens when people stop waiting for perfect solutions and start changing things from the ground up.
