FIRES & FASCISM (12A)

FIRES AND FASCISM is a new documentary that shows the wildfires in Europe are more than just climate change and mismanagement. It links the increasing wildfires of Europe with politics, big business, organised crime, and the rise of the far right. It showcases how communities are engaging in direct action, protest, rewilding, and suppressing the rise of uncontrollable fires and the far right through direct actions.

Featured are the experiences and actions of 25 people from Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and their actions to build community for a safer and more resilient future. The film is crowdfunded, independent, and non-profit.

The director of the film, Dr Pete Knapp will be joining us for a Q&A after the film! Dr Knapp has a background in air quality and shifted careers from academia to storytelling.
