Liverpool Friends of the Earth held a screening of the film Sauvages by Claude Barras to raise awareness of the Planet Over Profit campaign, which is calling for a new UK law to ensure companies must avoid harm to people and planet in their supply chains. Thank you so much to Dr Teo Hoon Seong for speaking at the event. More info in the links below for anyone who wants to get involved.

Thank you so much to those who came to watch the film and engage with the campaign. Every contribution matters, even if you may feel it’s too small to make a difference. With enough of us calling for change, we can work together towards holding companies accountable for the harms they cause overseas.
