Last November, ten of the UK’s leading experts briefed an invited audience of over 1,200 politicians and leaders from business, culture, faith, sport and the media. The briefing set out the implications of climate and nature breakdown for health, food systems, national security and the economy. The People's Emergency Briefing presents the national implications of climate and nature breakdown - along with credible, positive responses - in a single, accessible account. A new film featuring Chris Packham, leading scientists, a former general and Jennifer Saunders - all being far too frank about where things are heading and what can be done about it.

The Nettle Dress
Showing Wednesday 10 June
This June, Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema is joining the Great Big Green Week 2026 and celebrating its third birthday with a whole week of screenings!
A modern-day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft.
‘Exquisite and inspiring, beautiful and helpful for anyone suffering loss or grief.’ Sir Mark Rylance
Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand, using only the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the greenest of slow fashion. It’s also the medicine that helps him survive the death of his wife, which leaves him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her.
'Grasping the Nettle' is at the heart of it. Making a dress this way becomes devotional, with every thread representing hours of loving attention. Over seven years Allan is transformed by the process as much as the nettles are.
The challenge of making zero carbon clothing means re-learning ancient crafts: foraging, spinning, weaving, cutting and sewing. Finally the dress is worn by one of his daughters, back in the woods where the nettles were picked.
Burning Skies + virtual Q&A
Showing Friday 12 June
This June, Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema is joining the Great Big Green Week 2026 and celebrating its third birthday with a whole week of screenings!
Two men are coming for Robert Harper. Their weapon is not violence but the truth about his investments. A dark truth that drives a wedge between him and his beloved daughter.
Burning Skies is a series of short films about the impact of oil extraction on the air we breathe and the water we drink. Including both documentaries and a drama starring Sir David Suchet, these films examine the human impact of our relationship with fossil fuels.
The director Tom Cholmondeley will join us virtually for our discussion after the screening.
End the Siege on Cuba: Special Screening and discussion
Showing Tuesday 16 June
This film screening + discussion is organised by the Nottingham branch of Cuba Solidarity Campaign.
Film + frontline speaker. Learn Cuba's untold history and how you can help break the siege. Don't miss this rare evening.
Join us for a special End the Siege On Cuba event featuring the powerful documentary Cuba After Castro and an in-person discussion with Elizabeth Ribalta Rubiera, Northern European Officer for ICAP (Cuban Friendship Institute)!
Cuba After Castro presents the first and only U.S. interview with Miguel Díaz-Canel, exploring Cuba’s lesser-known history and turbulent present, and offering a revealing portrait of the man tasked with steering the nation’s future after the Castro era.
This documentary follows the first in-depth U.S. interview with Miguel Díaz-Canel, Cuba’s first post-Revolution leader. As he confronts U.S. sanctions, a pandemic, and historic protests, the film chronicles his unexpected rise from unassuming organizer to Castro’s successor, offering a rare view of revolutionary Cuba suppressed in the West.
Following the screening, we welcome Elizabeth Ribalta Rubiera, Northern European Officer for ICAP (Cuban Friendship Institute). Liz brings extensive experience in international solidarity, having worked with U.S. brigades and the Pastors for Peace Caravan. Elizabeth has a wealth of experience of international relations, having worked at ICAP since 2014. Her roles include United States group coordinator in the North America division, where she led international volunteer work brigades and worked with the Pastors for Peace Caravan which brings material aid and delegations from the US each year. She also worked in the ICAP department that looks after foreign students, including working directly with young students studying at the Latin American School of Medicine.
Watch the message from Elizabeth Ribalta from ICAP
Drowned Land
Showing Saturday 20 June
Flowing through southeast Oklahoma, the Kiamichi River is a cradle of biodiversity and cultural memory. Already twice dammed, it now faces another threat: a proposed hydropower project that could drain its watershed. For local residents and Indigenous culture-keepers of the Choctaw Nation, protecting the river is part of resisting a long history of land loss and forced displacement dating back to the Trail of Tears.
The Street Project
Showing Saturday 27 June
In 2010, the small community of specialists who pay attention to US road safety statistics picked up on a troubling trend: more and more pedestrians and cyclists were being killed on American roads. In fact, pedestrian deaths have increased 51 percent since reaching their low point in 2009. In addition to the loss of human life, it is estimated that road injuries will cost the world economy $1.8 trillion from 2015–2030.
The Street Project is the story about humanity’s relationship to the streets and the global citizen-led fight to make communities safer.
