Eating Up Easter: Take One Action Film Festival

09/28/2019 @ 5:45 pm - 8:15 pm BST

Mama Piru from the Eating Up Easter documentary

Eating Up Easter Screening and Discussion at Take One Action Film Festival

In a cinematic letter to his son, native Rapa Nui (Easter Island) filmmaker Sergio Mata’u Rapu crafts a global wake-up call from the remote Pacific.

With mass tourism and rapid development re-shaping their island, the Rapa Nui people, descendants of the statue builders, are seeking to recycle ancient traditions in a bid for environmental sustainability.

Despite its remote setting, the film captures familiar struggles, whether with environmental threats posed by growing infrastructure, waste management and plastic pollution, or with richly diverse cultural traditions being commodified and hollowed out. But at the heart of Eating up Easter lies a rousing tribute to the role of community engagement, arts and creativity in driving positive social change.

Join us after the film for inspiring conversations and opportunities for effective, personal action. We will explore creative and community responses to environmental challenges with guests including a representative from SHRUB Coop.
