Hambi - The Fight For Hambach Forest
The documentary tells the story of the climate activists living in treehouses, who want to save the last remaining part of the Hambacher Forest, threatened to be distroyed by the RWE Power AG for brown coal mining purposes. The eviction of the forest occupation by RWE and the police in autumn of 2018 is documented in Direct Cinema style. The movie follows the events with spectacular pictures and delivers poetical, unpretentious inside views of this worldwide recognised beacon of the fight against climat change.
