Our film is a call to action: to fight climate change through a fundamental value shift. Inspired by New Zealand’s Whanganui River, the first river in the world recognized as a legal person. The river is the main character of our film. The story is a road trip: a Māori river guardian invites us and an international group of friends – including a First Nations Elder and his daughter from Australia – to travel down the river. The river unites them all in their goal to bring about a fundamental shift in values to protect our planet for future generations.

The screening is also suitable for parents with babies and small children. A parent can go to the cinema with a stroller. No commercials or spots are played before the screening.

The capacity of the screening room is not fully filled. The projection may be suitable for people with autism spectrum disorders and otherwise neurodivergent people. Older children can be supervised by the festival staff outside the cinema hall. Autumn creative activities will be prepared in the next room.
