RACE FOR THE FUTURE: Meet James Levelle

  • St Laurence Church Hall The Shambles GL5 1JL (map)

PLUS TALK WITH THE DIRECTOR

COME AND MEET ADVENTURER AND FILMMAKER, JAMES LEVELLE AS HE TALKS ABOUT THE ADVENTURE THAT INSPIRED HIS DOCUMENTARY RACE FOR THE FUTURE.

James is a nature-centric award-winning filmmaker, adventurer & storyteller - Discovery, Nat Geo, BBC - working in some of the most extreme & remote environments on the planet. Ambassador for all things wild & advocate of nature-based, adventurous, and fun solutions to the ecological & climate crisis.

Inspired by the next generation’s efforts to make their voices heard in the climate emergency, James set off from the UK on a 9000-mile race to document youth climate messages and deliver them in a film to the United Nations climate conference in Chile.

His challenge was to get there by any means possible… fossil fuel free.

However, sailing midway across the Atlantic Ocean James received devastating news. The climate conference in Chile had been cancelled and moved to Madrid. He now faced a seemingly impossible task… continue the mission to document youth climate messages in South America and find a way to deliver their voices to the UN conference in Spain.

This talk is equally exciting for adults and children alike.
