In celebration of The Great Big Green Week, the Green Screen Youth Take-Over is hosting a special evening of film screenings and panel discussions under the theme “Cumbria Swap for Good”.
In documentary Agbetsi Living Water Swim (15 mins), follow activist Yvette Tetteh’s 450km swim down the Volta River in Ghana, asking the question “What does a swim have to do with textile waste and the future we’re working to create?”. Next, documentary Fast Fashion: the Real Price of Low-Cost Fashion (53 mins) walks through Europe’s fast fashion industry.
The films will be followed by a panel discussion from Gail Gravett (Cumbria Clothing Collective), Amanda Slattery (Maya Maya, Kendal), Kay Groundwater (Identity, Barrow) and Finn Windhill (Restore Cumbria), to cover topics raised in the films and Cumbria Swap for Good. This will be open to the audience, so please bring your questions!
The evening is in collaboration with Another Way, The Power of Ten, On The Same Page, and Zero Carbon Cumbria.
