Fires and Fascism (12A)

Fires and Fascism
This gripping grassroots documentary uncovers the human corruption behind Europe’s wildfires, and the ordinary people daring to fight back.

Beyond climate change and mismanagement, Fires and Fascism exposes the tangled web of political, economic, and social forces, from corporate greed to organised crime and the far right. Through the eyes of grassroots activists, it follows communities rising, protesting, rewilding, and creating permaculture projects amid raging wildfires and extremist ideologies. Across Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, 25 ordinary people turn collective action into resilience, unity, and hope, a searing testament to the power of communities defending humanity and the planet.
