@Julian_1_2_3_4_5 I would be careful with calling it #solarpunk , the movie has a lot of implicit neoliberal assumptions and puts a lot of technosolutionist proposals, doesn't show a lot of communities.
It's a great introduction to the idea of not giving up though! I personally recommend the movie to people who have had no experience with hopeful climate fiction at all.
The company owning the movie is pretty hard to work with as well, we failed to get educational screenings multiple times :/
Do you have any recs on good solarpunk movies/documentaries?
I'd recommend checking out our local documentary community, !documentaries@slrpnk.net, which is chock full of docs! :D
Though admittedly, most of the ones there are not directly related to solarpunk. Since the movement is really only just catching on in the mainstream, there's not much documentary/movie content about it.
The only fictional movie I can think of that's solarpunky would be Strange World from (ironically) Disney.
Ooh, missed that one - thanks!
