Nalleli Cobo, now 20, began her impactful Environmental Justice activism at age 9, years before Greta Thunberg's school strike. Living across from an oil drilling site in South Los Angeles, she and her community suffered severe health issues, including heart palpitations, headaches, and nosebleeds so intense she had to sleep sitting up.

Cobo became a leading voice demanding the site's closure, evolving into an internationally renowned, award-winning Environmental Justice activist. She shares her journey, the ongoing struggles in disenfranchised communities, the high price paid, and how local efforts connect to the global fight for Climate Justice.

"JustUs" depicts a family in New Mexico's Española Valley ministering to their community amidst an epidemic of heroin addiction and political corruption. This region, homeland to Indigenous tribes and site of the 1680 Pueblo Rebellion against Spanish colonization, carries deep historical traumas. Spanish is a dominant cultural influence, and most residents are bi-racial. Despite its enchanting landscape, the valley suffers from endemic poverty; New Mexico ranks 49th in education. Job opportunities are scarce, with drug distribution often serving as the primary income.
