For Beatrice Phiri, climate change is personal. Deforestation, pollution, and other environmental challenges in Zambia have directly affected her community’s electricity and water supplies. As an Agent of Change with
Children's Radio Foundation, she uses the power of radio to educate the Zambian people about environmental issues and encourage her peers to take action. In this short film from
Makhulu, Beatrice shares her experience as a youth reporter and climate change activist.

Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors. We look for work that affirms National Geographic's belief in the power of science, exploration, and storytelling to change the world. The filmmakers created the content presented, and the opinions expressed are their own, not those of National Geographic Partners.
