Generation Alpha Rebel Cinema: Global Divestment Day edition – Hambi benefit
Date: Wednesday 21 of January
Time: 7PM doors open, 8PM start program
This edition of the People’s Kitchen (Sunday January 11 in MKZ) Rebel Cinema (Wednesday 21 in Joe’s Garage) is dedicated to the upcoming Global Divestment Day actions in the Netherlands and the subject of climate activism more broadly.
During the Rebel Cinema we will screen the inspiring documentary “Bidder 70” (2012, 73 min), about Tim DeChristopher, a Utah University economics student who disrupted an illegal oil and gas auction in the U.S. in an extraordinary, ingenious and effective act of civil disobedience. Bidder 70 is a personal story surrounded by a wider context of citizen action, our history of peaceful civil disobedience, and grass roots movements demanding climate justice .
Following the screening, students involved in the fossil fuel divestment campaign will shortly present themselves and their exciting plans to take climate activism in the Netherlands to the next level with the Global Divestment Day actions on February 13 and 14 of 2015.
Price for the evening: voluntary donation, which will be used to support the brave people occupying the ancient Hambacher Forst in the German Rhineland since the spring of 2012, to defend it from being destroyed for the expansion of the climate-killing open cast brown coal mines, just 35 kilometers over the border with the Netherlands.
