Directed by Emily James

For one year, director Emily James embedded herself in UK activist groups such as Climate Camp and Plane Stupid in order to document their clandestine actions. Her work introduces a powerful cast of mischievous and moving characters who put their bodies in the way; they super-glue themselves to bank trading floors, blockade factories, and attack coal power stations en-masse. With unprecedented access, James’ documentary gives audiences a rare look behind the scenes of a radical community of people who refuse to sit back and allow Capitalism to destroy our planet.(Digital presentation)

The screening is co-sponsored by IU’s International Studies Program, Departments of Criminal Justice and Labor Studies, and IU Cinema. Special thanks to Bradley Stroot.
