Climate change forces farmers to migrate north

Climate change is forcing farmers in Central America to leave their homes and migrate north.

While I think this is a very well-made short documentary, I think the story itself could/should be framed in a slightly different way. As is, I think this video could actually be used by our less empathetic/more conservative friends as proof that Trump has secured the border and made it very difficult for people to enter the country illegally. The take-away at the end seems to be that this farmer and his family have returned to Guatemala where they will continue working hard and hope for the best. Unfortunately, this exact argument would be a huge win for conservatives in America. Isn't their whole goal to prevent illegal immigration and send people back to their countries? Wouldn't those same conservatives even feel GOOD about the ending of this doc -- how this farmer returns home and commits himself to getting back to work and providing for his family? If I could re-edit this video, I would shift the focus away from their journey to America because that's not really the story here. The story here is that climate change is creating climate refugees all over the world. The drought, the acid rain, etc. that the farmer and his family are fighting against should be the story. Where they decide to go and what their experience was at the border shouldn't be the point, unless this is a doc about immigration, which I don't think it is. The argument that climate change is affecting people RIGHT NOW and destroying peoples' lives RIGHT NOW should be the focus. Anyway, just some unsolicited thoughts from another filmmaker.

Praying for all and hope you will help share this very important Truth from Almighty God's Word:
"Time Has An End"
Time has an end, with much of God's word, the Bible, to comprehend, but most won't contend, and climate change won't mend; Global warming is God's final warning, as He is always in control, and He is our Weatherman (Isaiah 45, Nahum 1, Jeremiah 23....)Because of too much rebellion and sin, and wicked hearts within. (Jeremiah 7, Psalm 48, Romans 1-3...) God gave us His written word, originally in Hebrew and Greek, and called this book the Bible, to show us how to live and be; The Bible was written by holy men of old, many years ago, as God moved them through the Holy Ghost (2 Peter 1:21); And all scripture was written by inspiration of God, for us to be corrected, and reproved, by walking in His truth (2 Timothy 3:16, 17); We have a most loving, and merciful God, to be praised and obeyed, from the moment we arise, til we go to sleep at night, yet much of the world won’t take heed, and go their own way; (Psalm 113:3, Ezekiel 39, Jeremiah 12, Ephesians 5, Titus 3, 2 Timothy ) He is the King of kings, LORD of lords, He is our Savior, Creator of all, but most won't even acknowledge Him, and mock Him with much gall; We’re in the “Great Tribulation” now of Matthew 24, the LORD has opened up the seals (Revelation 5-22), so we can see truth more; In Daniel chapter 12 vs 9, God told Daniel the seals were closed til the end of time; If you study from Isaiah to the book of Malachi, hopefully you will see that this is all about the end times; Too many false gospels, signs and wonders, none have the truth, since God has allowed Satan to take his seat in the temple, and now rules, according to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 (2 Corinthians 11, Revelation 2, 3, 17-22)Judgment has begun on the house of God, in 1 Peter chapter 4, God is starting with the churches, and then to many more; (Ezekiel 9, Jeremiah 25...) God is our Faith, our Baptism, our LORD, and Father of all, and only He can save, not the pope, priest, you, or me, and none can come to Him, unless He draws, and only by His mercy; (John 6:44, 10:30, Ezekiel 36, Romans 1-9, 1 Timothy 2:5, Titus 3, Ephesians 1-5...)So as the days of Noah, because of too much sin, when the floods came, and took most everyone/thing away, except for the animals on ark, and Noah's family of eight, So shall our LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ (both the same), come and destroy this earth with fire on the dreadful Judgment Day, with only a remnant saved (Isaiah 1, 10, 11, Jeremiah 23, 31, Ezekiel 6, Joel 2, Malachi 4, Romans 9, 11, 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9, Revelation  11, 12, 18-22….), and He alone is the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2);Please come soon LORD Jesus, please come soon, let Satan and sin no longer rule, for many are suffering, more and more each day, especially the children, LORD we pray; Please come soon dear LORD, please come save (Revelation 18-22)

Thank you for listening, may God bless, and keep you always!
