“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 16th century, the ruthless and insane Don Lope de Aguirre leads a Spanish expedition in search of El Dorado.

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.
