The world of environmental direct action has remained a secretive one – until now. Emily James spent over a year embedded in activist groups such as Climate Camp and Plane Stupid to document their clandestine activities. She presents a cast of mischievous and inspiring characters who super-glue themselves to bank trading floors, blockade factories and attack coal power stations en masse, despite the very real threat of arrest.  With unprecedented access, Just Do It takes you on an astonishing journey behind the scenes of a community of people who refuse to sit back and allow the destruction of their world. Their adventures will entertain, illuminate and inspire.

“A smart, funny, adrenalised portrait of 21st-century activism… If eco-documentaries in the past have acquired a reputation for being unwatchable, here is a remedy.” (Danny Leigh, The Guardian)

The panel for the discussion after the event will include Emily James and Senior Lecturer in Environment at the Open University Dr Joe Smith, and it will be moderated by Deirdre O’Neill.

This event is expected to end around 22.30.
