ECO 03 Earthbound

Roots mean life! We are rooted in space and time, in soil and history. As an uprooting force, the climate crisis is destroying traditions and livelihoods, threatening indigenous life in Greenland as well as family homes in Canada. But there is strength in community – and a small seed can eventually grow into a tall tree.

All films will be shown in their original language with English subtitles.
