What’s the documentary about?
Two years ago Job and Ellard, two independent filmmakers from the Netherlands, had a great idea. They wanted to make a documentary about young people who are all connected in some way to the Young Friends of the Earth Europe Network: a new generation of activists who are engaged with social and environmental justice campaigning. They wanted to portray the diversity of this movement, the people and their engagement.
The idea was put into action and over the past year they’ve travelled across Europe, by train and crappy cars to jump into the lives of four young activists. The result is an amazing feature length documentary – Movement – which tells the stories of Ina, Luka, Lucy and Nathan and shows their lives as activists.
Almost there – but they need your help
They’re almost there, but they need to do a last crowd funding push to finish this independent documentary in time to be shown at film festivals and screenings across Europe next year. Just a few euros donation from you could help them get over the finish line and put the final touches to the film after two years of hard work! Their target is to raise 5,000 euros.
We hope that the trailer gives you a good insight into the story and the potential this documentary has to be shown to, and inspire, a wider public. By making a (small) donation you’ll be directly responsible for helping this documentary be spread, shown and watched. With your contribution you will co-create the inspiration for hundreds, hopefully thousands of young people to give environmental activism a go!
In return, Job and Ellard will add you to the supporters list on the website (soon to be released). There are further incentives as well, which increase with the level of your pledge – from getting a free copy of the film to having your name and organisation’s logo featured in the credits (see the full list of pledge rewards).
Where your money goes
By supporting this project, you’ll be helping Job and Ellard to finish this documentary. Your support will help them cover costs like getting music rights sorted, doing design work, buying hardware, making copies of the documentary itself, and spreading it to all the corners of the world – starting with Europe.
