Story: No place on earth has seen the effects of global warming more than the vast mineral-rich Arctic.

Location: Asheville and Charlotte, North Carolina; Apalachicola, Florida
Story: The father: a megachurch preacher who doesn’t believe in climate change. The daughter: an activist trying to shut down the local coal-fired power plant. The daughter’s hope: to eventually convince her father that global warming is happening, and even, just possibly, see if he’ll make it the topic of his next sermon.
