Reach for the Sky (40minutes)
How can cream pies, sitting on top of an airliner, singing on a
runway or squatting a crane stop climate change? How do cheap flights
increase sea levels? How did British activists stop an airport from
destroying a beauty spot?
A documentary exploring the growing activism against Governments
plans to expand nearly all British airports despite the growing
threat of climate change. Includes dramatic images of activists
blocking a runway at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport, treetop protests
to hinder construction at Manchester airport and activists training
to stop Swansea airports expansion. Exclusive images from Heathrow
airport show how expansion was halted as local people scaled the
security fences and climbed a 30m crane to squat with banners for
an entire week.
Expand your mind with an explanation of Corporate
'Carbon Trading' and insights into how common lands have been seized
to build Britsh airports. Find out alternatives to flying. Have
a laugh as corporate leaders are cream pied for their failure to
stop climate chaos.
