- DirectorMark DecenaStarsNnimmo BasseyAlix MazouniePat MooneyAt the U.N. Climate talks in Paris, two weeks after terrorists attacks created a state of emergency that outlawed all "unofficial" political gatherings, follow seven global grassroots activists as they attempt to unleash the only force that can prevent catastrophic climate change: the will of the people. Not Without Us documents a crucial moment in history, framing the root causes of the global climate crisis and the greatest inequality in the history of mankind, as one and the same. Seen from the perspective of frontline communities, the film interweaves the personal stories and motivations of the activists portrayed, conveying to a broader audience why the call for deeper and far reaching change is not only necessary, but also humane.
- DirectorSimón UribeDeep in the misty jungle of southern Colombia, between treacherously steep mountain slopes, stands an unfinished concrete bridge as an absurd symbol of human folly. Once intended as a link in the new "bypass" that was supposed to replace the perilous old road from Pasto to Mocoa, it's now a bizarre attraction for day trippers taking selfies and kids doing motorcycle stunts. In 1991 a devastating landslide hit the old road, known as the "trampoline of death", killing dozens of people. An engineer in his jeep describes it as madness that this lethal road was constructed like this back in the 1940s. After all, Catholic missionaries had already found a better route decades earlier. Local residents view the futuristic design of the new bridge under construction on their laptops. Workers pour concrete in the midst of mud and fast-flowing waters, unaware of the impending doom. It's as if there's a conspiracy between nature, politicians and foolish arrogance.
