PRSC’s School of Activism presents: Fires & Fascism
DOORS @ 7pm // Screening from 7:30pm // Q&A with the filmmaker from 8:45pm – all tickets £5, via Headfirst: https://hdfst.uk/e137878
FIRES AND FASCISM is a new 57-min documentary shows the wildfires in Europe are more than just climate change and mismanagement. It links the increasing wildfires of Europe with past fascism, 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.
The experiences and actions of 25 people across Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal feature, ranging between scientists, teachers, artists, gardeners, engineers, winemakers, NGOs, and authors.
Dr Pete Knapp, the filmmaker, has a background in air quality and shifted careers from academia to storytelling. The reason for making the film is to reduce modern day fascism that capitalises on any crisis, which are wildfires in this case. It aims to start the conversation on what we do about the rise of fascism today.
