Timely climate change activism documentary from local director premieres at the Curzon
Veteran Clevedon-based documentary filmmaker Sasha Snow has spent more than two decades exploring our self-destructive relationship with the natural world.
His award-winning previous film, Hadwin’s Judgement, was a drama-documentary telling the true story of logger-turned-environmental terrorist Grant Hadwin.
Sasha’s follow-up, The Troublemaker, centres on another activist, Extinction Rebellion co-founder Roger Hallam, as it explores the ideas and motivations behind the new wave of environmental radicalism.
is needed now More than ever
It’s framed as a journey of discovery embarked upon by Hallam and Sylvia Dell – a retired IT worker and mother of four from Totnes who describes herself as an ordinary, sensible, peace-loving citizen. She’s not previously been involved in activism, but has now decided it’s time for her to do something about impending ecological catastrophe.
The Troublemaker does battle with Bond at Clevedon’s Curzon cinema
The Troublemaker gets its local premiere at Sasha’s local cinema, the Curzon in Clevedon, on Thursday 4 November. The screening is followed by a panel discussion, in which the director will be joined by Dr Oscar Berglund, a lecturer in International Public and Social Policy at the University of Bristol who specialises in climate change activism and civil disobedience, and the Green Party’s Lily Fitzgibbon, who made history when she became Bristol City Council’s youngest ever councillor.
