A journey across Europe’s raw material frontier, where the cost of green growth becomes visible.

The Green Deal is Brussels’ recipe to save the planet: more electric cars, more renewables – without giving up economic growth. But can we really mine our way out of the climate crisis? The film follows Hector, a Spanish farmer, and Matti, a Sámi reindeer herder in Sweden, as they resist new mining projects threatening their land. A journey across Europe’s raw material frontier, where the cost of green growth becomes visible. For everyone seeking the true way towards a green transition.

The screening is followed by a talk with the directors Monika Grassl and Linda Osusky.
