Ep. 2: How Does a Wild Robot Talk About Climate Change?
How does a robot who is raising a goose talk about climate change? In this episode, we watch the movie The Wild Robot and discuss its environmental themes and how its subtle nature it can drive conversations around climate change. We also discuss other major themes and how by understanding who the source of the message is through media literacy, we can become a more active audience rather than passive.
