Just do it - at The Ritzi in Brixton on 15th July

Exciting news! Just Do It- a tale of modern-day outlaws from acclaimed film maker Emily James, will be opening at the Ritzi in Brixton on July 15th. In the making of Just Do It, Director Emily James spent over a year embedded in activist groups Climate Camp, Climate Rush and Plane Stupid. With unprecedented access, the film gives a fun but earnest glimpse into a community of people who refuse to sit back and allow the destruction of their world. Just Do It introduces a powerful cast of mischievous and inspiring characters who put their bodies in the way. They super-glue themselves to bank trading floors, blockade factories and attack coal power stations en-masse all despite the very real threat of arrest. Putting aside the doom and gloom of many environmental documentaries, Just Do It  will leave audiences empowered rather than overwhelmed.

For us on the Just Do It team, this is a film intended to inspire people to take action on climate (along with the rest of our world's social and environmental issues) and we plan to show it to as many people as possible to meet that end.

With much hurrah, Just Do It will be at The Ritzi in Brixton at 8.45pm along with a sure to be rousing Q&A from Director Emily James.  You can nab tickets here.  Click here to watch the trailer. And please spread the word! If you bring along five people to the screening, we will give you a complimentary ticket.
