What’s to say? Start the day with some boogie - come chop, dance and eat to the beet! Disco Soup started 8 years ago in Berlin, Germany, as Schnippeldisko, a ‘protest soup’, against food waste that fed 8000 people. From then on, they started to spread across the world as a fun, meaningful way to bring this crisis into focus. Many different varieties of soups have happened since. We lay claim to be the first to have run a kids Disco Soup!!

A feature-length documentary, presenting the remarkable life story of the Gandhian eco-activist and agro-ecologist, Vandana Shiva. By profiling one of the greatest activists of modern times, the film looks at the epic struggle over who controls the world’s food systems, and asks the question, who will prevail?
2pm - 3.30pm Kiss the Ground Film Showing
An inspiring and groundbreaking film that reveals the first viable solution to our climate crisis. Another feature - length movie, Kiss the Ground, reveals that by regenerating the world’s soils, we can completely and rapidly stabilize Earth’s climate, restore lost ecosystems and create abundant food supplies. The film shows that by drawing down atmospheric carbon, soil is the missing piece of the climate puzzle.
