Of Walking On Thin Ice (Camino to Cop26) Screening with Q&A

WALKING WITH CLIMATE PILGRIMS FOR CAMINO TO COP FILM

Screening at Broadway Cinema, Friday 2 and Saturday 3 June, 6pm as part of GREEN HUSTLE FESTIVAL

Join us at the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham at 6pm on June 2nd and 3rd, as part of the GREEN HUSTLE FESTIVAL for two screenings of  OF WALKING ON THIN ICE, a film made by Ben Wigley following the 500-mile journey (Camino to COP26) made on foot by hundreds of climate activists from Bristol and London to Glasgow for the COP26 Climate Conference in November 2021.

There will be a chance to hear from director Ben Wigley and Green Hustle’s Adam Pickering at a Q&A screening on the Friday, and then an expanded cinema walk event on the Saturday, walking along the canal and through the festival site to the cinema screening.

Film runtime: 55 minutes. The film is suitable for all ages with some flashing lights, and loud drumming in the soundtrack.

The CAMINO TO COP26 was a people’s walk carrying a message of love, hope, grief, fear, and connection with the natural world to leaders deciding on the future of our climate. Ben walked with the group, who became known as ‘CAMINISTAS’, filming their experiences and capturing the sense of pilgrimage on this emotional and purposeful journey. More than a thousand walkers, aged from eight to 80 plus, joined the Camino for a few hours, a day or more, with a core group of about 30 completing the entire route to Glasgow. Completing the 500-mile journey involved intense physical and mental effort, emotional and spiritual upheaval, but it brought transformation and a sense of hope, despite the looming threat of climate breakdown.
