#ClimateScam? & PLAN Z + LIVE Q&A
Our environmental film strand, FOOTPRINTS, continues with two short documentaries about the Climate Emergency. Pay-what-you-can tickets from £3. #ClimateScam? (41min) Produced by Cornwall Climate Care As the world faces increasingly devastating climate-related disasters, why do so many people believe that the climate crisis is nothing more than a hoax? In this eye-opening documentary, Jaz, a young mobile hairdresser and TikTok-savvy Gen-Zer, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth. #ClimateScam? follows her as she visits everyone from climate scientists to climate sceptics, looking at how misinformation and conspiracy theories are affecting climate scientists, young people – and potentially our ability to tackle the biggest challenge that humans have ever faced. Plan Z: From Lab Coats To Handcuffs (24min) Trailer Directed by Louisa Jones and Vladimir Morozov Are scientists doing enough to sound the alarm about climate breakdown? Plan Z traces the motivations of British researchers who’ve turned to civil disobedience to warn the public directly, risking arrest, a criminal record and their professional reputations. When the UK government pledges to ‘max out’ oil and gas extraction, the lives of psychology professor Colin, microbiologist Abi and ecologist Aaron collide outside the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), where they and six others are arrested for causing alleged criminal damage. But who are the real climate criminals? As restrictions on protest tighten, will scientists retreat to their laboratories or will more stand up than ever before? A window into the world of reluctant activism, Plan Z explores the moral power of protest when established routes of influence fail. To join or support scientists taking non-violent direct action to raise awareness of climate change and nature loss, follow Scientists for Extinction Rebellion (in the UK) and Scientist Rebellion (worldwide). Scientists are also supporting the Defend our Juries campaign, after climate protestors have repeatedly been banned from presenting scientific evidence of climate change to UK court juries. The films will be followed by a live Q&A. More details to followPT1H40M12A2025-03-09#ClimateScam? & PLAN Z + LIVE Q&A"#ClimateScam? & PLAN Z + LIVE Q&A"Showtimes
