The Cost of Growth: Documentary Screening & Conversation

Share

Who pays the price for eternal economic growth? How are they resisting?

Join the upcoming screening of and dialogue on the Cost of Growth documentary, a feature length documentary that connects local struggles against extractivism in Serbia, Italy and Sapmi with broader debates on justice, democracy, and war.

From January 26th to February 1st, as part of the worldwide ‘Reclaim the Economy Week’, Universities, other educational institutions, advocacy groups, activists, associations, and individuals across the globe, are invited to organise a screening of Oxfam Novib's new documentary ‘The Cost of Growth’, and to engage in this question; how can we reclaim our economy?

3D is proud to present this screening and subsequent dialogue at VU Amsterdam. 

The Cost of Growth documentary shows us how endless economic growth, major corporations, and the depletion of resources lead to increasing income and wealth inequalities, and damages to the environment. It addresses how people across Europe are not only resisting false solutions, but also building alternatives; from grassroots organizing to new forms of cooperation and solidarity. It was co-produced by human rights activist Anuna de Wever, filmmaker Thomas Maddens, and scriptwriter and researcher Brototi Roy.
