"Presented by Global Sustainability Institute from University of Exeter & Green Phoenix, join us after the films for a Q&A

#ClimateScam?

As the world faces increasingly devastating climate-related disasters, why do so many people believe that the climate crisis is nothing more than a hoax? In this eye-opening documentary, Jaz, a young mobile hairdresser and social media-savvy Gen-Zer, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth.

#ClimateScam? follows her as she visits everyone from climate scientists to climate sceptics, looking at how misinformation and conspiracy theories are affecting climate scientists, young people – and potentially our ability to tackle the biggest challenge that humans have ever faced.

Plan Z
Dir. Louisa Jones & Vladimir Morozov | 24mins

Are scientists doing enough to sound the alarm about climate breakdown? Plan Z traces the motivations of British researchers who’ve turned to civil disobedience to warn the public directly, risking arrest, a criminal record and their professional reputations.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Natalie Whitehead from Exeter Science Centre, Lisa Hoerning from Students Organising for Sustainability & Regan Mudhar from the Global Sustainability Institute, chaired by Claire Wallerstein producer of Cornwall Climate Stories.
