WE CAN DEPOLLUTE
OURSELVES
Documentary film
(90-100 minutes)
WE CAN DEPOLLUTE OURSELVES see project description by Suzanne
Körösi raises sensitive questions about
global
pollution and the obstacles to depollution. Professor Gilles-Eric
Séralini, from the University of Caen, France, a
distinguished
researcher in molecular biology and an international expert on genetic
manipulation was chosen to be the main speaker in the film.
As in Suzanne’s
previous films, the audience will be exposed
neither to shocking images nor to a catastrophist vision. Unlike
several recent films on global warming, WE CAN DEPOLLUTE OURSELVES does
not focus on individuals/consumers, does not aim to make them feel
guilty for their everyday lifestyle. Suzanne’s and Professor
Séralini’s objective is double. First,
make the
extent of the problems linked to pollution understood especially by
politicians and economic decision makers and highlight the ideological
and economic premises that hinder efforts of depollution on a large
scale. In order to address this point, the film shows the necessity of
designing new evaluation criteria for the impact of toxic materials on
human health (Part I); their second objective: show that it is not too
late, that depollution is urgent but possible (Part II). The film will
present existing initiatives and innovations in a global pollution-friendly
political and economic environment ; show creative men and
women, pioneers in this environment all around the world, involved in
making these initiatives and innovations work. The film will call on to
elected officials and policy makers to open up the range of
possibilities and options for implementing true solutions.
So that Suzanne
and Professor
Séralini can keep total
freedom in terms of our topical and artistic choices, the Les Films du
Réveil
team has decided to call for the support of all
persons and institutions, foundations as well companies.
If you consider it important that this film be produced and distributed
as widely as possible, then please support it financially and forward
this message to your friends, colleagues and networks. If you work in
an institution or a company that is already acting towards depollution,
please forward this call to your board directors.
Timeline
Our objective is to release the film in the second semester of 2011.
This means that we have to start shooting by the end of 2010.
Budget
The staff will be paid with salaries established by French unions, not
more and not less. The raised funds should cover the production costs
(salaries, location of material and travel fares)
We estimate today that the production costs will amount to 200,000
Euros. This is a small budget for a documentary film. We can start
shooting only once this sum has been collected.
