Synopsis
In 1971 a small group of activists set sail from Vancouver, Canada in an old fishing boat. Their mission was to stop Nixon’s atomic test bomb in Amchitka, Alaska. Chronicling this untold story at the birth of the modern environmental movement and with access to dramatic archive footage unseen for over 40 years, the film centres on eco-hero Robert Hunter and his part in the creation of the global organisation we now know as Greenpeace. See trailer below.
The second film in English “Bikes versus Cars” will also be screened in the Ferme du Manoir on Sunday 13th March at 16:00 This film highlights the conflict in town and city planning between bikes and cars.
