Honduras – Waiting for Rain

Bronze Telly Winner, 2022

Hondurans are waiting for rain. Steady, predictable rain. Not like what’s been happening in recent years. That is, long droughts drying up crops, followed by devastating downpours that carry away topsoil. There is now scientific consensus that these climate extremes are the result of climate change, and that the catastrophe is being exacerbated by human activity. As a result, rural Honduras is facing more poverty than before. And new generations cannot afford to stick around.
