Fires & Fascism Screening with Dr. Pete Knapp

FIRES AND FASCISM is a new 57-min documentary that shows the wildfires in Europe are more than just climate change and mismanagement. It links the growing wildfires of Europe with past fascism, big business, organised crime, and the far right. It showcases how communities are engaging in direct action, protest, rewilding, and suppressing the uncontrollable fires and the far right.
The experiences and actions of 25 people across Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal feature, ranging between scientists, teachers, artists, gardeners, engineers, winemakers, NGOs, and authors.
Dr Pete Knapp, the filmmaker, has a background in air quality and shifted careers from academia to storytelling. The film aims to start the conversation on what we do about the rise of fascist attitudes.
The documentary has taken 15 months to produce. Over £4000 was raised by crowdfunding, which paid for the equipment and filming, and activists providing free accommodation and food during filming helped greatly to reduce the cost.

This documentary is crowdfunded, independent, and non-profit. The aim is to tell the stories of people in Europe; describe the broader, systemic isues; to stop fascism; and to inspire community action. Donate to Fires and Fascism
