Screening of “The Great Green Wall”

On May 15, the Green Office, together with #FAUwissenwollen and EELISA, invites you to the documentary film "The Great Green Wall."

This powerful documentary addresses one of the world's most ambitious climate projects: planting an 8,000-kilometer-long belt of trees across the Sahel region, providing millions of people with food, jobs, and a future in an era of climate change. "The Great Green Wall" captures the fears, dreams, and hopes of the people living along this still-incomplete "Great Green Wall" through music.

Following the film, there will be a brief discussion about the movie. Lecture and film in English.
