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.
