Ebony Stewart is a trailblazing spoken word artist who addresses environmental justice in John Fiege’s new film In the Air. At the heart of the film lies the fossil fuel industry’s disproportionately negative effects on people of color and poor communities in the Gulf Coast of America. Her poetry illuminates the lived realities of growing up in an extraction region. Plot lines and stories are told exclusively through artist performances including dance, visual art, music and spoken word. Photo credit: John Fiege
