Finite: the Climate of change – watch from home

We’re excited to let you know that you can finally watch FINITE online now on Vimeo On Demand, by renting or buying the film.

FINITE: The Climate of Change is an inspiring insider’s view of communities in the UK and Germany putting their bodies on the line to fight back against coal mining. Featuring Coal Action Network alongside local people in the Pont Valley, Durham. FINITE is an authentic and emotional insight into the David and Goliath battle between frontline communities and activists on one side, and coal mining corporations on the other.

A masterpiece: powerful, inspiring, uplifting. Please watch it.”

GEORGE MONBIOT

Currently the COP28 climate summit is taking place in Dubai. December 7th, marks a year since the UK Government approved a new underground coking coal mine in Cumbria. Since then, the Government has encouraged new oil and gas extraction. Action against fossil fuels remains a necessity.

The wider story of the Pont Valley can be found here.

In the words of an activist in FINITE:

"climate conferences are not going to save us, we have to save ourselves"
