Event description
Description
Friends of the Earth Southampton present Blue Heart.
Join us for a screening of Patagonia’s new film Blue Heart.
More than 3,000 hydropower dams and diversions are either proposed or in the process of being built on Europe’s last wild rivers in the Balkans and will cause irreversible damage to rivers, wildlife and local communities.
Blue Heart documents the battle for the largest undammed river in Europe—Albania’s Vjosa—the effort to save the endangered Balkan lynx in Macedonia, and the women of Kruščica, Bosnia and Herzegovina, who are spearheading a months-long, 24/7 protest to protect their community’s only source of fresh water. Save the Blue Heart of Europe.
The film will start at 7pm but the Friends of the Earth team will be there from 6pm if you want to come along and meet us!
The film screening will be followed by an informal chat about the issues raised and our local Friends of the Earth group.
