Reserve your evenings and get the popcorn ready. The Greenpeace film
festival is back. The 2020 edition features 15 documentaries focusing on
different environmental issues such as climate, food, agriculture,
overconsumption, biodiversity but also less well-known subjects such as
whistleblowers and fossil energies.
The best part is all the films are free and YOU are
the jury! At the end of the Festival, the People’s Choice Award will be
given to the film with the most votes. So sit back, relax and decide!
