We keep hearing, in recent years, about “natural” gas as a solution to the many ecological problems we face. This video explores the ways in which, over time, the fossil fuel industry has presented itself as making positive contributions to society. Through various advertisements and investments, this trend continues even today in the public discourse. If coal is no longer convincing as an energy source the industry is promising us another “cleaner”, more “natural”, fossil fuel: methane gas! But how good is it?

Animals running away from factory farms need all the support they can get, from activist protesters to caregivers in vegan sanctuaries. In this film you’ll hear about actions of escape and animal resistance, such as those of Matilda the pig, but also those of Tilikum the orca, Tatiana the tiger, and Tyke the Elephant. You’ll find an exploration of what animal sanctuaries are, what they try to achieve, what tensions they bring forward, and what possible futures they help materialize. And, by raising the voices of the Cuori Liberi antispeciesist activists from Italy, as they were defending the lives of pigs inside the sanctuary from the forces of the state, the film navigates just how entangled animal and human liberation are.

This film is a deep-dive into a personal/political story of (non)belonging, understanding one’s identity and finding one’s community. You’ll find a theoretical introduction to the neurodiversity movement, exploring its main ideas and arguments, intermingling them with snippets of lived experience. The narration delves into topics such as labels, mad/disabled/neurodivergent identity, oppression and collective liberation, all from within a path of becoming at home within the autistic body/mind.

It is a song, a cry and a gift towards those who have not yet found a way to understand their difference, their ‘weirdness’, their dis/abilities.
