Event details

Doors open at 5 pm with the screening beginning at 5:30 pm.

Join NTU Confetti and Mammoth – A Climate Action Cinema as we host a screening of Overheated, a documentary directed by Yassa Khan that tackles one of the most urgent issues of our time: the climate crisis. Featuring Billie Eilish and a diverse group of voices, Overheated offers a "striking look at the fragile state of our planet and the fight for its future."

The film features insights from activists like Vanessa Nakate, Samata, and prominent figures such as Vivienne Westwood. Focusing on Indigenous communities, including the Waorani Tribe from the Amazon Rainforest and the Sámi people of Sápmi, Overheated emphasizes how these groups are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. Yet, they remain at the forefront of the fight to protect our planet. As Billie Eilish asks in the opening moments of the film, “Are we doing enough?”

Following the film, Patrick Hort from Mammoth - A Climate Action Cinema will chair discussion with NTU academics and colleagues whose work explores climate science, policy and justice and sustainability within the creative industry.
