UKGFF: The Green Lie

Dir. Werner Boote | Austria 2018 | 93 mins

Environmentally friendly electric cars, sustainably produced food products, fair production processes: Hurray! If everything the corporations tell us is true, we can save the world through our purchasing decisions alone. A popular and dangerous lie. Are the industry’s “green products” nothing more than a sales strategy?

In his new documentary film Werner Boote, together with environmental expert Kathrin Hartmann, shows us how we can protect ourselves. They easily banter, they agree to disagree and ultimately bring freshness to a never-ending debate.

Screened as part of the UK Green Film Festival.
