From publications to protest: should scientists be climate activists?

In 2022, nine British researchers fly-post a government building with scientific papers presenting stark evidence of human-induced climate change. They are arrested and charged with criminal damage. By turns pacy and pensive, short documentary ‘Plan Z’ explores their motivations for engaging in civil disobedience, and asks: what is the professional responsibility of scientists towards the public in the 21st century? Stay for the post-screening Q&A with local experts to form your own conclusions.

The panel for the event will be:

• Vlad Morozov
• Dr Abi Perrin
• Dr Jen Murphy
