Join City to Sea and Rubber Republic for an evening screening of the critically acclaimed Patagonia film ‘ARTIFISHAL’.

Produced by Patagonia founder, Yvon Chouinard and directed by Josh “Bones” Murphy, ARTIFISHAL “brings into sharp focus the plight of wild fish due to hatcheries and fish farms. The illuminating 75-minute documentary explores the high costs - ecological, financial and cultural - of our belief that engineered solutions can make up for habitat destruction. The film traces the impact of fish hatcheries and farms on wild salmon stocks around the world”.

“Humans have always thought of themselves as superior to nature and it’s got us into a lot of trouble. We think we can control nature; we can’t,” notes Yvon Chouinard, Patagonia founder. “Fish farms and open net pens only treat the symptoms and not the causes of the problem. If we value wild salmon, we need to do something now. A life without wild nature and a life without these great, iconic species is an impoverished life. If we lose all wild species, we’re going to lose ourselves.” Watch the Artifishal trailer here.

Before the film, there will be a raffle with prizes from the likes of The Wave, Finisterre, Patagonia and many more, with all proceeds going to City to Sea’s campaigns!

Following the film, we'll have time for an informal drinks and networking, so you'll have the opportunity to chat to Natalie and the City to Sea team about what we can do to help protect our oceans and what's happening here in the UK.

The event will be plastic free (so no plastic cups at the bar!) The ticket price includes a beautiful City to Sea stainless steel pint glass so you'll never need to use a plastic cup again (RRP £6.50 https://www.theplasticfreeshop.co.uk/stainless-steel-pint-cup---city-to-sea).

All proceeds will go to City to Sea, the not for profit campaigning organisation preventing plastic pollution at source by connecting our actions to our oceans. https://www.citytosea.org.uk/
