KANARIS THEATRE, FLOOR 2

Join Manchester Friends of the Earth for a special screening of ‘Sauvages’ - an animated film about a family fleeing conflict in Borneo’s rainforest.

As part of their Planet Over Profit campaign you're invited to a screening of Savages, a PG-rated film about a young girl’s quest to rescue a baby orangutan from loggers in the Bornean jungle. The film explores themes of deforestation, corporate land grabs, palm oil production and Indigenous land rights.  Watch the Sauvages trailer.

The film screening will be part of a whole day of family friendly forest inspired events. The folk duo Words from the Willow will be performing earlier in the day, with shows at 11am and 1pm. In between the music and the film there will be a craft session to unleash your most creative woodland self.

Schedule

2pm: Craft session.

2.45pm: Pre-film talk.

3pm: Film screening.

4.30pm: Informal post-film discussion

Refreshments will be available.
