Climate Camp TV 2008
Undercurrents in association with VisionOn.TV created and managed a live TV studio during Climate Camp.The field studio was powered entirely by solar and wind energy. We broadcast over the internet.
We reported the people who are making a difference by working together collectively. When large numbers of determined and well-organised people get together they can turn things around, making a historic difference.The climate camp aimed to do just that. Whether it's participating in the collective organisation of the camp, taking part in workshops or taking direct action to tackle dangerous developments like new coal-fired power stations; being at the camp was about people getting together to respond positively to the climate crisis.
Climate camp TV studio shows were broadcast on http://visionOn.TV in August 2008.
