A free showing of Hope! We are On Time Episode 3 - a docuseries on hope, positive stories, climate change and sustainability

Project Description:

What if we looked at the climate conversation a little differently?

Less alarm. Less doom. Less blame. And more hope, possibility and stories about what we can actually do. That’s why Cardiff Met is taking HOPE! On Tour.

What does that mean?

It means exploring the future through stories of solutions, innovation and people creating change, and remembering that there is still time and there are still things we can do.

Cardiff Met is organising a series of free screenings of HOPE! We Are On Time across communities in Cardiff. A cutting-edge, inspiring, exciting and visually spectacular docuseries exploring one of the biggest concerns facing citizens around the world: climate change.

The entire series contains 6 episodes, 11 internationally relevant personalities and many others guiding us through the world of what is possible., 4 continents and 24 inspiring stories showing what is already being done to tackle the climate crisis.

All six episodes screenings will be free and will take place in some of the warmest and most beautiful community hubs around Cardiff, bringing people from different backgrounds together.

Starting with our own campus, each month an episode will be shown at Oasis, the Grangetown Pavilion, The Canopi and Chapters Cinema, before ending up back where it all started.

After each episode, we’ll have a chance to chat, reflect and hear from a speaker sharing a local good story, because there is plenty happening right here in Wales, too.

Book your FREE ticket to watch all or one of the episodes today. Episodes can be watched independently for one another but watching the whole series is recommended.

We’ll be showing one episode each month for the next six months, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

This is Episode 3: Metamorphosis

The idea of change usually provokes rejection, but if we think about it, the best stories often revolve around change.

Accompanied by Kate Raworth, the economist who wanted to turn economics upside down with her idea of Doughnut Economics, we look at stories of amazing metamorphoses: fishermen who learn to love the sea, people who have worked closely with plastic discovering new ways of approaching its use, and, above all, we learn that we need to change if we are to thrive without depleting the finite resources of our planet.

This episode takes us to Chile and the USA, but the stories and ideas are just as relevant for us here, in Wales.
