Description
What happened when protestors in Germany built a camp in the canopy of their local forest to protect it and to stop the expansion of a gravel pit?
Join us on for an early evening screening followed by a Q&A panel with the filmmakers and protestors in the film.
Find out more about their activist community and their creative and continuous protest.
All are welcome, no need to book.
Forward notice of a linked event: Intro into Activism workshop with People & Planet, the largest student campaigning group in the country.
The workshop will follow on from the film on Monday and will explore how we too can get involved in making change. No need to attend both.
The workshop will take place on Wednesday 6 November 2024 in the same location from 17:00-18:30.
