Following the death of its matriarch, Carmelita, the fictional village of Bacurau is subjected to a series of mysterious goings-on, including apparently disappearing from the face of the earth. But is their source supernatural or something far more mundane but no less destructive? Community action proves the answer to this riddle. 

For this screening we're thrilled to be joined by Adam Pickering, co-founder of Green Hustle, who'll be discussing the power of community action.

This event is part of the ‘Water and World Cinema’ film season dedicated to local, national, and international bodies of water and inspired by the intense reporting on these waterways in the UK press. The film season is generously sponsored by NTU’s Institute for Knowledge Exchange.
