Documentaries from all over the world show the different approaches to see the problems locally and globally. However, there seem to be similar problems all around the globe. This year we created those categories summing up the documentaries:
Food: What do we eat?, The cost of energy, The cost of tourism, Indigenous Life – The right to life, Habitat, Looking Back, Labor, Disruption, The Shadows of Life, Borders of senses.
Food production, agricultural challenges and the question about the future are the main topics in this section.
Energy – the main source of modern life. But what about the shadows of energy production? What about the disasters brought already upon us because of energy production? What about the future? What about the local populations concerned directly by the challenges of energy production? How to solve the problems of waste? Just some of the main questions in this section.
Many resources for the industrial life are to be found in indigenous owned land. Without respect for their culture and history, as well as their right to life the outside world is exploiting their land, polluting their habitat and dumping waste on their holy sites. In this section we have some resourceful and strong voices fighting for their rights.
Gentrification, water, overpopulation, speculation, waste – modern living causing distress.
