The Cost of Growth: Film Screening and Climate Gathering
Across the globe, communities are bearing the brunt of an economic system that prioritises endless growth over human and planetary health. But from local neighbourhoods to international movements, people are fighting back.

Join the Momentum
This is more than a film screening. We’ll come together around food to reflect on the themes raised by the film, connect with fellow activists, organisers and campaigners, share experiences, and strengthen our collective climate justice work.
We can’t wait to see you there!
