Keep Our Sea Chemical Free – The Documentary + Q&A
Dir. Senara Wilson, UK, 2024, 40 mins.
This 40-minute documentary is about what happened when a Cornish community was confronted with the sudden reality of a chemical experiment happening in St. Ives Bay. Canadian company Planetary Technologies reassured locals that this was going to heal the ocean and combat global heating. So, did demanding a halt to the experiment mean that local people were standing in the way of genuine progress in the climate crisis? After all, Elon Musk was backing the experiment and there'd already been a secret test that went ahead with no questions asked. Is the community scientifically illiterate and insular or is there more to this story?
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Senara Wilson, hosted by Climate Action Plymouth.
