Humans are 22 times more likely to remember a story than a fact. Stories shape cultures and grow worlds—expanding our imagination and conception of what is possible. In this sense, stories might be the greatest hope we have in rewriting our relationship with the planet. In this keynote address, filmmaker and Go Gently author Bonnie Wright will join Willow Defebaugh, Atmos Editor-in-Chief and author of The Overview, for a conversation on the narrative of sustainability and what it means to live in harmony with the Earth.

Bonnie Wright (she/her) is most known for her work as an actress playing Ginny Weasley in the Harry Potter films, but has since stepped behind the camera. Directing shorts, commercials and music videos, with projects having premiered at Cannes and Tribeca Film Festival. Bonnie is a passionate advocate for climate justice as an ambassador for Greenpeace. In 2022 she published her debut book, ‘Go Gently Actionable Steps to Nurture Yourself and the Planet’ with Harper Collins and Hachette. The book explores practical and tangible ways we can take action for our environment and community. She is currently in post-production with Dash Pictures for her Go Gently TV show, a documentary following her and Pattie Gonia on a road trip along America’s West Coast exploring the magic of our planet and the restorative work that people are doing to protect it.
