Finite: The Climate of Change

A documentary showing the plight of people in both germany and england fighting to stop the coal mines from destroying forests, neighborhoods, and homes. Digging for coal has taken precedence over saving the remaining trees in hambach forest. Residents in england are losing their homes and community buildings to eminent domain by a private coal mining company. The first part is a display of the results of climate change around the world... storms, hurricanes, fires, flooding. Then we hear from the locals in both locations who are actually doing the fighting on the front lines. The residents in england on the edge of a coal mine, and the people in germany, living in the tree houses in the hambach forest. Which is now down to ten percent of its original area. One interesting dilemma... the protesters would have to admit to trapping a protected newt in order to show the court that the protected newt still existed there. Which they claim to have done. It's quite well done, and while we hear from the police, we hear little from the coal companies; were they not invited to the conversation, or did they refuse any invititations to speak? Inquiring minds want to know! Very effective last ten minutes, where statistics of fossil fuel use were shown. As well as the deaths of the humans watching over them. Directed by rich felgate.
