For the last year, book co-authors, Chris Benner and Manuel Pastor, have been collaborating with Argentine filmmaker and documentarian Emiliano Rodriguez Nuesch to create a dialogue between the experience of Lithium Valley in California and the so-called \u201cLithium Triangle\u201d in Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia. Their conclusion: the future of these regions may be uncertain but the communities there that have too often been left behind and kept behind are linked in their concerns for people and the planet.<\/p>\n<p>To get a glimpse of the forthcoming full-length documentary, view the trailer:\u00a0<a title=\"https:\/\/www.chargingforwardbook.org\/videos\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chargingforwardbook.org\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-msys-clicktrack=\"0\">https:\/\/www.chargingforwardbook.org\/videos<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>April 22nd, 2025<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>4:00 PM to 5:30 PM<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>On Vimeo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a class=\"cta-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/power-in-the-desert-documentary-film-screening-and-discussion-tickets-1285126210089?aff=oddtdtcreator\">Register<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <div class=\"eds-l-mar-vert-6 eds-l-sm-mar-vert-4 eds-text-bm structured-content-rich-text\">\n<div class=\"eds-text--left\">\n<p>About our Panelists:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emiliano Rodriguez Nuesch<\/strong>\u2014a risk communications and behavioral science expert\u2014is a director at the risk communications agency Pacifico.
