Jane Gilbert has one foot submerged in mud as she lowers a small cypress tree into the ground. Sweat seeps through her shirt, even though it’s barely hot by Miami-Dade standards: a mere 86 degrees with cloying humidity. Gilbert and a group of Girl Scouts are planting 500 native trees in the Miami-area city of Coral Gables to help mitigate climate change.

Last week I had the rare opportunity to screen three of our films in one program at the Newark Museum of Art.
