Issue 21: September 2023

This month we meet journalist, podcaster and filmmaker Ben Knight to chat about his documentary We're All Going to Die. The film is a "mostly funny" look into the realities of climate anxiety and the individuals and communities preparing for the world's ecological collapse. We discuss how he got into filmmaking, his view on "Preppers" pre and post documentary and what his own journey through climate anxiety has been like.

Follow Ben @BenWernerKnight and the film at @wereallgoingto5 on Twitter or via the website. There will be another screening of the film at Podfest Berlin on Sunday, October 15, 2023.
