Thursday, September 26 at 7 pm on KPJK TV in the South Bay. If a crime is committed in order to prevent a greater crime, is it forgivable? Is it, in fact, necessary? The Reluctant Radical features activist Ken Ward as he confronts his fears and puts himself in the direct path of the fossil fuel industry to combat climate change. The film reveals both the personal costs and the fulfillment that comes from following one's moral calling.

Ken Ward has no regrets, and his certainty leaves the audience to consider if he is out of touch with reality or if it is the rest of society that is delusional for not acting when faced with the unsettling evidence that we are collectively destroying our world.
