‘Just Do It'


Don’t miss ‘Just Do It' – inspirational film about environmental activism this Friday 27th April, 7pm  
 For one eventful year, Emily James was allowed unprecedented access to film the secretive world of environmental direct action. Two years later, Just Do It – a tale of modern-day outlaws hit the big screen. Just Do It lifts the lid on climate activism and the daring troublemakers who have crossed the line to become modern-day outlaws.
Emily James' film follows these activists as they blockade factories, attack coal power stations and glue themselves to the trading floors of international banks despite the very real threat of arrest.
