Scheduled dates
Join us for a celebration screening of Plant Power. The film is a remarkable and uplifting documentary by award-winning filmmaker, Florence Ayisi.
There will be a workshop activity (15:00-17:00) run by the Bristol Rainforests in the afternoon focusing on growing the food we eat.
There will then be a screening and Q&A (18:00-20:00). The Q&A will be with the participants in the film and the filmmaker, who will be discussing co-creating with communities and sharing insights on working with nature for wellbeing.
Please note you are welcome to attend one part of the event, or both.
Plant Power vividly shows how two residents (Amrish and Judit) of St. Paul’s in Bristol found immense joy in their shared commitment to growing and caring for plants during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown, in the city’s most nature-deprived areas. Life after lockdown brings renewed hope as Amrish and Judit actively share their passion with community members, highlighting how plants can enhance overall wellbeing. The film was co-created with the residents of St. Paul’s.
