In Earth We Trust

The mistrust between faith and science is the greatest hurdle in the battle against climate change, but in 2008, one man was on the cusp of changing this world. This is a documentary about the rise and fall of the man who nearly saved the planet, and what comes next.

Fifteen years ago Reverend Richard Cizik had the attention of 30 million Evangelical christians and was generating momentum for a faith-based moral obligation to care for the planet. This idea of ‘Creation Care’ was controversial, but Rev. Cizik was a media darling, popular with the youth – the face of the more reasonable modern-day Evangelical. Until one fateful interview changed his life. This is the story of how a man, set on changing the world, went from Vice President of one of the biggest religious organizations in America, a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan, and one of TIME Magazine’s top 100 influential people, to a part-time Lyft (electric vehicle) driver almost overnight; the story of how his work continues to influence modern election campaigns; and ultimately, a story about finding common ground in a polarized world.
