A new generation of young female activists uncovers a powerful, often overlooked chapter of women's history and the alarming reality of British nuclear armament. As they navigate the complexities of teenage life and social activism, three young women - Poppy, Xanthe, and Evie - embark on a journey of discovery, following in the footsteps of over 30,000 women who forty years earlier united in peaceful, liberating protest, the remarkable Greenham Common Women's Peace Movement.

This coming-of-age documentary, driven by intergenerational dialogue, bridges past courage and present hope, speaking to the need for action and change.

After the screening, we will be joined virtually by the Director Barbara Santi for our discussion.

A dedicated park ranger has protected his population of critically endangered black rhinos so well that they have run out of space. Cornered by ruthless poachers, the rhinos are at risk of turning on each other. His team must implement a daring plan to move 21 rhinos across the country and open a new safe haven.

Set high in the French Pyrenees, The Shepherd and the Bear explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community. The film follows an aging shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock, and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, The Shepherd and the Bear is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity's relationship with a vanishing natural world.

“Are we worth saving?” explores questions about our responsibility and value system as humans who are part of a planetary entanglement.

The performance Are we worth saving? is the culminating event of Theatre of Climate Action, a youth-led creative project supported by the Feminist Centre for Racial Justice (SOAS, University of London) and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC). As part of the project, seven students were involved with creating performance around issues of climate (in)justice. The project seeks to amplify global majority youth voices in conversations about the climate and climate activism through the performing arts.

The cast and directors of the play will be present to lead a conversation after the screening.

In the industrial heartland of British textiles, a community sets out to do something unprecedented - grow jeans from scratch. With hopes of helping regenerate harmful fashion systems, they begin planting flax and indigo, spinning yarn, and weaving cloth. When the dream of bringing them to market falters, the challenge of creating a prototype is taken on by Justine Aldersey-Williams, transforming the experiment into a personal rite of passage.

What unfolds is a tender, radical act of reconnection: to land, lineage, lost skills, and the ‘more-than-human’ world. Woman Grows Jeans explores what it really means to rewild our world, our wardrobes—and ourselves. At once a protest and a prayer, this is slow fashion as provocation: sown by hand, infused with love, and stitched with hope. For anyone who’s ever wondered if a different future is possible, this pioneering story shows that the power to create change is still in our hands.

After the screening, we will be joined by the director Justine Aldersey-Williams.
