The [Conserv]atives

From summer 2021 through Donald Trump's re-election campaign, four Republican insiders wage an uphill battle to transform their party's stance on climate change from within. A young grassroots organizer, a big-city mayor, an Iowa farmer, and an evangelical pastor — each embedded in different corners of the conservative ecosystem — risk alienation from their own communities as they attempt to reframe climate action as a conservative value. As extreme weather intensifies and the 2024 election approaches, they confront a political machine built on denial, testing whether personal conviction can overcome tribal loyalty. This is a deeply personal story about the cost of defying your own side and the haunting question that drives them all: will their efforts be enough before time runs out?
