At 7:30 p.m., we’ll be at Largo do Mercado with snacks and conversation.
As part of the Graduate Program in Investigative Journalism at the University of Coimbra, Lena Hertel and Nina van Dijk have spent the last few months conducting an investigation into mega solar power plants in Portugal.
By exploring issues such as deforestation driven by large-scale solar projects, the installation of solar panels in nature reserves, and the legal frameworks that favor large companies in the sector, they seek to critically reflect on the environmental and social impacts of solar energy in Portugal and identify alternative models.
Lena Hertel is a young Portuguese-German woman who grew up in the Alentejo region and has been grappling with climate change and social injustices since childhood.
Nina van Dijk was born in Coimbra, in the land of the Gândaras, but soon moved to the valleys and hills of Odemira, where she discovered journalism while working with a local radio station.
At 9:00 p.m., we’ll begin the film screening.
Synopsis
“Since time immemorial, the Solé family has spent their summers picking peaches in their orchard in Alcarràs, a small town in Spain. But after receiving an eviction notice, this year’s harvest may be their last. New plans for the land call for uprooting the peach trees and installing solar panels, causing a rift within the family, which had been very close until then. For the first time, the Solés face an uncertain future and risk losing more than just their home."
