SHADES OF GREEN - ACJ FILM FESTIVAL ON ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE

Shades of Green
ACJ Environmental Justice Film Festival
Man's war against nature does not victimise only the environment, but people
too. Environmental degradation and the "solutions" we come up to combat it
often end up hurting the poor and the marginalised disproportionately. Shades of Green-ACJ film festival highlights the fact that, the struggle for environmental justice is a struggle for an environmentally sustainable and socially just world.
