In this final episode of Knitted Heart, Ben speaks with his entire cast and crew from a feature length film captured in one fluid shot in July of 2021 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Many critics said it couldn't be done. 

Ben speaks with globally recognized atmospheric scientist, Katharine Hayhoe, PhD. "I don’t accept global warming on faith", Hayhoe asserts,  "I crunch the data, I analyze the models, I help engineers and city managers and ecologists quantify the impacts.

In 2014, Hayhoe was named one of TIME Magazine’s 100 Most Influential People and the Foreign Policy’s 100 Leading Global Thinkers. In 2015, Hayhoe was named one of the Huffington Post’s 20 Climate Champions.  In 2017 she was named one of FORTUNE’s world’s greatest leaders.  

Dr. Hayhoe speaks with Ben about the big issue that exacerbates many disparities, and humanitarian emergencies we’re all facing together around the globe, and a way political polarization and tribalism that keeps us from just talking about it can be absent in a true coming together to heal our planet.
