The Cost of Growth

This screening is part of a two-day fundraiser for Palestine & Lebanon, taking place on 15 & 16 August.

We will kick off the event with a screening of ''The Cost of Growth'', a documentary that challenges Europe's growth narrative by exposing the extractive systems it relies on and the communities that bear their cost. The film connects local struggles across Europe to broader movements for justice, showing how communities resist extraction, build solidarities, and expose systemic violence.

To create space for reflection and explore how we can turn the insights from the documentary into meaningful action, the screening will be followed by an interactive panel discussion with three activists from Tunisia. The audience will be invited to actively participate in the conversation.

On the second day, Yasmin Chams will host a merch stand featuring screen-printed T-shirts and tote bags in support of Palestine, as well as a tattoo stand where you can receive Palestine-inspired tattoos.

Throughout the day, a "Bake Sale for Palestine" will offer homemade treats lovingly prepared and donated by volunteers.

As the evening unfolds, we will be joined by an acoustic jam session, accompanied by a surprise interactive contribution from the audience.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go directly to families in Gaza and Lebanon. The beneficiary initiatives will be announced during the event.

We cannot wait to welcome you.
