Whether you’re part of a community group, school, library, or just want to host a screening at home, anyone in the UK can take part. All films are free to stream online during the festival, with rights and licensing already arranged and English subtitles provided where available. Each screening comes with resources and discussion prompts to spark reflection and conversation about climate justice and migration.
