How to Change the World chronicles the adventures of an eclectic group of young pioneers – hippie journalists, photographers, musicians, scientists and draft dodgers – who set out to stop Richard Nixon’s atomic bomb tests in Alaska, and ended up creating the worldwide green movement. How To Change The World draws on interviews with the key players and hitherto unseen archive footage, which brings these extraordinary characters and their intense, sometimes eccentric and often dangerous worlds alive. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Jerry Rothwell, who will undoubtedly be able to provide an added dimension of unique insight to these characters and their vitally important movement.
This event is hosted by The Frontline Club. With a history rooted in the freelance video news industry, the Club exists to promote freedom of expression and supports journalists, cameramen and photographers who risk their lives in the course of their work.
