French documentary with subtitles, discovering professionals who, aware of the fragility of their business, due to the changes taking place, are committed to transforming their activities.

4:00 pm Toxic bodies
We are all contaminated. PFAS, the "eternal pollutants", have been invading our lives since the 1940s. French documentary with subtitles, followed by an in-depth analysis with Ninetto Martucci, a volunteer of Greenpeace Italy who will present the results of the research carried out by GP Italia on PFAS contamination in the waters of the main Italian cities and in other areas, even remote and unexpected, such as the Monte Rosa region.

6:00 pm Il prezzo che paghiamo
Through the personal stories of victims of extreme weather events, alternating with the analyses of researchers, journalists and activists, the documentary reconstructs the thread that binds the extraction of fossil fuels and the devastating social, environmental and economic fallouts, from the contamination of land and water, to floods and the climate crisis.

This is followed by a discussion with the testimony of Ninetto Martucci, a volunteer of Greenpeace Italy and a Venetian citizen, who experiences firsthand one of the most complicated consequences of climate change, which risks making the pearl of the lagoon disappear. Ninetto is also for this reason participating in Greenpeace's 'Just Cause' against ENI. On stage with Abraham Dali of Greenpeace Switzerland for an interesting discussion on the catastrophes that have recently occurred in the two countries, of different types but all caused by the rapid change taking place.

This will be followed by a convivial aperitif prepared by Teste di Rapa and Melo Gusto.
