Britain's What's On Event Guide
Journey to Nutopia: People’s Emergency Briefing - Climate Action
Journey to Nutopia returns for a one-off screening and panel.
--
A lot’s happened since we launched Journey to Nutopia back in 2018. Our founding motto - 'refuting the inevitability of global dystopia' isn't getting any easier, but that's all the more reason to look for the places in our doom-flooded news environment where The Work is happening - especially around the climate crisis.
We are taking part in the countrywide screening initiative for the People's Emergency Briefing documentary - a film that lays out the facts of Where We Are, but also the next steps we can take together to get our governments to grasp this crispy old nettle and bring more urgency to mitigating the incoming mass extinction event of our age. The briefing is currently being shown all across the UK – from church halls to trade union meetings. It brings together the science and national implications in one compelling film, designed for communities to watch together with their MP and other local decision makers to see the same evidence – on the record – as those briefed in Westminster. The film will be followed by what we are pretty confident will be a lively panel discussion about what WE can do beyond the Bag-for-Life of it all, to be part of the solution/surviving what comes next and not just hopeless witnesses to the distraction and destruction of the natural world happening on our screens and increasingly in our lived experience.
Confirmed panel guests include:
Deborah Curtis - The Great Imagining
Sarah Corbett - The Craftivist Collective
Jami - London School of Solar Punk
There's no time to waste. As the film shows, we have made some progress since the XR protests and Net Zero promises but we need to accelarate not take our foot off the proverbial gas. It's time to come together, raise our voices and demand our governments take the kind of bold action required to make lasting change.
Join us!
