The Welcome Table (2026)

The Welcome Table is a 2026 HBO documentary written, produced and directed by Josh Fox. The film examines climate-driven displacement by following people who have been forced to leave their homes in different parts of the world.

Fox travels to places including Paradise, California, Boulder, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh and the Caribbean, meeting people living through the consequences of fires, floods, drought and other forms of environmental disruption. Their experiences provide the human focus for a broader examination of migration and climate change.

The film combines on-location testimony with an international perspective, asking how communities can respond to increasing displacement and how societies might rethink the idea of welcoming people forced to move.
