FINITE: THE CLIMATE OF CHANGE d. Rich Felgate, 2022 + Intro, presented by Clean Up the River Brent, Ealing Wildlife Group, Friends of Horsenden Hill & Extinction Rebellion Brent at The Lexi Cinema (27 APR 18:30).

“FINITE: THE CLIMATE OF CHANGE is an insider’s view of the world of direct action; a raw, authentic and emotional insight into the David and Goliath battle between frontline communities, activists and fossil fuel corporations. ​ In Germany, concerned citizens step forward to save an ancient forest from one of Europe’s largest coal mines. They form an unlikely alliance with a frustrated community in rural England who are forced into action to protect their homes from a new opencast coal mine.” (The Lexi Cinema)
