@Julian_1_2_3_4_5 I would be careful with calling it #solarpunk , the movie has a lot of implicit neoliberal assumptions and puts a lot of technosolutionist proposals, doesn’t show a lot of communities.
It’s a great introduction to the idea of not giving up though! I personally recommend the movie to people who have had no experience with hopeful climate fiction at all.
The company owning the movie is pretty hard to work with as well, we failed to get educational screenings multiple times :/
@realbadat I usually go with anarchist technology documentaries.
In my big Solarpunk essay ( https://alxd.org/solarpunk-lenses-and-foundations.html ) I mention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPxCUzGGDKc , which was THE thing to inspire me to look for Solarpunk.
I love the series on the Southeast Asian Makers, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkMf14VQEvTblDrJNG4kD6BIVW16DKJh-
They’re less “comprehensive”, but they’re very real and very awesome :)
If I remember anything more, I’ll let you know!
@Nyssa we even have a @SolarpunkPrompts episode on that!
Take a look at https://podcast.tomasino.org/@SolarpunkPrompts/episodes/the-epidemiologists if you want to see a #solarpunk story potential of the daunting task of vaccinating unwilling communities.
