Sustainability Week: Documentary Screening - The Power of Activism

Sit back and relax after an action-packed Sustainability Week with a day full of inspiring documentary screenings! 🎥

'The Power of Activism' shines a positive new light on a group of young female activists who are risking it all to change the future thinking of governments and major companies. In true ‘David versus Goliath’ style, these inspirational scientists and conservationists challenge the thinking of out-dated practices that are contributing to climate change.

In an emotional and revealing journey, these women have sacrificed everything to take action. Giving their work a new dimension, one of Australia’s top actuaries investigates their actions to calculate the financial value of each of their projects… and the results are astonishing. From sacred ground above Byron Bay to Antarctica, Indonesia and to Pakistan, the women apply their energies to indigenous practices, shark conservation, intensive (factory) farming and antibiotic resistance, the fight against pollution and the subsequent impact on environmental and human health.

The Power of Activism moves beyond a critique of the world’s inaction on climate change, it celebrates the example set by this group of gutsy future-proofers… and actually puts a dollar value on the work they are doing.
