Description
The Green Team and Plant-Based Universities are teaming up to host a screening of ‘Eating Our Way to Extinction’.
The documentary takes audiences on a cinematic journey around the world, telling the story of our planet through shocking testimonials, poignant accounts from indigenous people most affected by our ever-changing planet, globally renowned figures and leading scientists.
This powerful documentary sends a simple but impactful message by uncovering hard truths and addressing, on the big screen, the most pressing issue of our generation – ecological collapse. Confronting and entertaining, this documentary allows audiences to question their everyday choices, industry leaders and governments.
