          Filmed over five years, Dying To Divorce takes viewers into the heart of Turkey's gender-based violence crisis and the recent political events that have severely eroded democratic freedoms.

          Green Warriors & The Cost of Cobalt | March 12th at 19:30

          Green Warriors (2021) | Directed by Martin Boudot, 52 mins

          Every year, 500,000 Europeans die prematurely due to air pollution. One of the main causes of this pollution is coal, still used in many countries. And this air pollution has no borders. It contaminates the entire continent.

           

          Everywhere, citizens are fighting for the right to air that is safe to breathe. Lacking tangible evidence, their calls for regulation are easily dismissed - a team of scientists and journalists sets out to search for evidence of air pollution.

           

          Will the powerful coal lobby resist these revelations?

          The Cost of Cobalt (2021) | Directed by Fiona Lloyd-Davies and Robert Flummerfelt, 25 mins

          In The Cost of Cobalt we meet the doctors treating the children affected and the scientists who are measuring the pollution. Cobalt may be part of the global solution to climate change, but is it right that Congo’s next generation pay the price with their health? Many are hoping that the more the world understands their plight, the more pressure will be put on the industry here to clean up its act.

           

          The discussion after the screening was moderated by Dr Mina Stanikic, in conversation with The Cost of Cobalt co-directors Fiona Lloyd-Davies and Robert Flummerfelt, Green Warriors journalist, Manon De Couet, and Dr Jeffrie Quarsie, public health specialist in environmental health.

          On Our Doorstep (2020) | Directed by Thomas Laurance, 90 mins

          On Our Doorstep delves deep into an area of the refugee crisis that rarely reached the press. The film is a behind-the-scenes look at the extraordinary grassroots movement that rose up to aid the refugees in Calais, and the community that sprang up there, before it was forcefully demolished.

          Unseen Enemy (2017) | Directed by Janet Tobias, 98 mins

          Unseen Enemy is an essential exploration of the reasons why we are experiencing a rash of diseases that were once only outbreaks, but have now become full-blown epidemics. This increased risk that we face, and the ways society and individuals can work together to reduce that risk, are demonstrated through the case studies of three epidemics: Ebola, influenza and Zika.
