In "The Grab," Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite, who also directed Our Friend, Megan Leavey, and Blackfish, follows investigative journalist Nate Halverson and his team as they uncover the growing geopolitical conflicts behind food and water in the 21st century, traveling from China and Africa to the Middle East and across America, discovering a world being torn apart by inequity and resource conflict.

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September and has been described by RogerEbert.com as the “The ‘holy s&%t’ documentary of the year.” The Grab reveals the invisible forces working to control the world’s food and water resources.

The free film screening in Cowles Auditorium will be followed by Q&A with journalist Nate Halverson and Human Rights Lawyer Brigadier Siachitema, moderated by Associate Professor Bonnie Keeler.  

This event is made possible due to the support of the Swain Climate Policy Series that mobilizes civic engagement to confront the climate crisis.
