Fires & Fascism

'Fires And Fascism' is a thought-provoking, timely new documentary that shows how the recent increase in wildfires across Europe are due to more than just climate change and mismanagement. It links these wildfires with fascism, big business, organised crime and the rise of the far right. The documentary features the experiences and actions of 25 people from Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal, including scientists, teachers, artists, gardeners, engineers, winemakers, NGOs and authors, to show how some communities are engaging in direct action, protest and rewilding in an attempt to suppress the rise of uncontrollable fires and the far right. 'Fires And Fascism' was crowdfunded and is an independent and non-profit production by Dr Pete Knapp, who will provide a short in-person introduction to the film and follow it with an audience Q&A. Dr Knapp has a background in air quality and shifted careers from academia to storytelling. His goal with this film is to help unify people in times of growing division, and start important conversations on what can be done to combat the alarming rise of fascism today. Starring Dr Pete Knapp
