Follows Amy Powney, a daughter of environmental activists, during her trajectory from outsider to industry leader as she sets out to create a fashion collection that's ethical and sustainable at every level.
Picturehouse Green Screen is an environmental documentary screened in conjunction with a community group, followed by a panel discussion made up of local experts and then (where possible) an invitation to continue the conversation in the cinema's bar or cafe to connect and share ideas. Free tea or coffee for those bringing their own keep cups.
Join us for a panel discussion after the film, with special guests:
