Film Title: KEEP OUR SEA CHEMICAL FREE
This 40 minute documentary is about what happened when my Cornish community was confronted with the sudden reality of a chemical geo-engineering experiment in our beloved local bay. Canadian company Planetary Technology reassured locals that this was going to heal the ocean and combat global heating. So did demanding a halt to the experiment in St. Ives Bay mean that local people were standing in the way of genuine progress in the climate crisis? After all, Elon Musk was backing the experiment and there'd already been a secret test waved through by the Environment Agency. Is my community scientifically illiterate and insular or is there more to this story?
This documentary comes from a grass roots perspective and a deep and emotional connection with this particular slice of Cornish coastline. The footage of St.Ives Bay has been gathered over many years and the film was made with zero funding and the hope that other communities could learn from our experience.
