About the event

From the energy battlegrounds of Southern Africa, Temperature Rising follows three fearless climate justice organizers — Gabriel Klaasen, Ina-Maria Shikongo, and Kumi Naidoo — as they confront fossil fuel expansion, mobilize communities, and fight for a just transition. Set against the backdrop of COP26 and COP27, this urgent documentary traces a growing movement and the people at its heart — proving that grassroots power can change national policy.
