God $ Green: An Unholy Alliance uncovers decades of religious polarization, political propaganda, corporate deal-making, and environmental injustice rooted in systemic racism.
In this 20-minute film, directed and produced by Jeanine Isabel Butler and Catherine Lynn Butler, viewers are taken on an eye-opening journey through decades of religious polarization, political propaganda, corporate deal-making, and environmental injustice based on systemic racism. It’s a story often told in light of social and cultural issues. It’s told less so in relation to the biggest crisis facing us today—climate change.
