Screening of System Update – Rebooting Our Future
In collaboration with Perins School, New Leaf Alresford are hosting a screening of the film ‘System Update – Rebooting Our Future’ on Thursday 15th January. Join them to watch a bold new feature length documentary about climate change, exploring how we can transform our politics, economics and society to meet the climate crisis.
In an era of accelerating climate change and cascading impacts, System Update offers a vital look at how transformative shifts in politics, economics, and society, can protect people from climate catastrophe. This film calls for a reboot of outdated systems that have failed to respond to the climate crisis.
World-leading experts and change-makers explain why these systemic changes are critical, and how they can be achieved. The film is more than an informative documentary; it is a rallying cry for a better future - one in which the majority of people are united in calling for the changes needed to avert disaster.
“We are on course for utterly catastrophic climate disaster within the lifetimes of younger generations,” warns Professor Jason Hickel, who argues for a radical departure from current economic thinking in the film. This is contrasted with political leaders betting on untested technologies to reverse carbon emissions at some point in the future. System Update presents the reality: the time for action is now.
The film will be followed by a question and answer session with our panel, who will offer their perspectives on the challenges we face, as well as potential solutions. The panel will include the film’s director Paul Maple, local MP Danny Chambers, retired Investment Manager Simon James; and Ian Williams, Professor of Applied Environmental Science at the University of Southampton.
The film will be shown using the new state of the art projection equipment in the Perins’ Main Hall. Doors open at 6.30pm, the screening will start at 7pm, and the panel discussion will continue until 9pm. Candover Brook vineyard will be there, so you can even enjoy a glass of locally produced fizz while you watch the film! A soft drink option will be available to buy.
Please note: This film is a documentary and suitable for older children, teenagers and adults.
