On March 4, the Religion, Race & Democracy Lab presented a virtual screening of God $ Green: An Unholy Alliance, the latest documentary film by Butlerfilms, which takes viewers on an eye-opening journey through decades of religious polarization, political propaganda, corporate deal-making, and environmental injustice based on systemic racism. Following the screening, Evan Sandsmark, a PhD candidate in religious studies at the University of Virginia moderated a conversation with Katherine Stewart, journalist and author of The Power Worshippers: Inside the Dangerous Rise of the Religious Right, and Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University whose forthcoming book, Reconsidering Reparations, considers a novel philosophical argument for reparations and explores links with environmental justice.

This event was part of Informed Perspectives, a series which brings together scholars, journalists, and documentarians to explore the relationship between religion, race, and politics.
