Emily Nkhana, a small-scale farmer in northern Malawi, used to throw away overripe bananas or just let them decay, but she's since discovered a lucrative way to use them: banana wine. Bananas were ripening too quickly due to the extreme heat, which caused significant losses for Ms. Nkhana and many other farmers in the Karonga district. At the Twitule Cooperative Group processing plant, she tells the BBC , "Then we discovered how to make banana wine." She is peeling lemons, which are needed to preserve the taste of bananas. For the farmers, producing wine is only one aspect of their mission; other priorities include survival, adaptability, and seizing the opportunities presented by a changing climate. They had been farming along the shores of Lake Malawi , but as a result of increased rainfall, the water levels rose and washed away their banana plantations. This forced them to relocate to higher, hotter fields where temperatures reached 42C. "Our problem at the old f...

Atlanta has become known as the “Hollywood of the South” since Georgia established the most generous tax incentives in the country for film and television production. Although the city is frequently used as a backdrop for filming, very few really focus on it as a vibrant metropolis deserving of its own mythology. (Apart from a few reality series, the list essentially starts and ends with Donald Glover's namesake FX series.) A welcome departure from this existing quo can be found in the Peacock limited series "Fight Night," which creator Shaye Ogbonna ("The Chi") adapted from the 2020 podcast of the same name. The show uses a fateful evening in 1970 to explore Atlanta's growth as a hub of Black culture and prosperity, even though several of the architects of that ascent were less-than-savory characters. However , "Fight Night," also named "The Million-Dollar Heist," does not entice viewers with the notion that it depicts "some...
