As part of the Green Film Festival, the Arts Picturehouse screened the film “Peak.” Cambridge Carbon Footprint introduced this award-winning documentary and chaired a post-film discussion with experts Dr Joe Smith (Senior Lecturer in Environment, the Open University) and Professor Peter Wadhams (Head of the Polar Ocean Physics Group, University of Cambridge).
This is what the makers say about the film: “The mountains are calling! Every year thousands of tourists flock to the white winter paradise of the mountains. Due to climate change and the lack of snow, it has been necessary to develop powerful technology in order to produce the ideal landscape. ‘Peak’ observes this process of transformation over the course of a year and asks vital questions about the relationship between nature and technology and our longstanding need for a paradise on earth.”
