We are delighted to host, along with Isle of Man Friends of the Earth, a talk from James Levelle – explorer, filmmaker and environmentalist – as he recounts his exploits travelling from the UK to a climate change conference in Chile without using fossil fuel, collecting messages along the way from young voices to present to conference attendees.
In a voyage filled with adventure and unexpected twists and turns – not least the cancellation of the conference mid-journey – James reflects on our relationship with nature, and on the need for young people to have their say on global issues which directly affect their future.
An award-winning cinematographer, James has filmed around the world – from documenting child labour in India’s cotton fields and deadly pirate fisherman off the coast of Sierra Leone to exposing the criminal trade in tiger skins and bone and the multi-million pound illegal logging industry in Southeast Asia.
These intense filmmaking adventures opened his eyes to the power of film and its extraordinary potential to change people’s perspectives.
Since then, James has worked in some of the world’s most extreme environments directing and presenting some of adventure TV’s most groundbreaking and successful shows such as Alaska: Gold Rush, Free Ride: South America, Primal Survivor: Amazon and Race For The Future.
The talk will be held at Erin Arts Centre at 7.30pm on Thursday 3rd April. It’s free to attend but tickets must be booked in advance to secure a seat. Please either use this link or get in touch with the Erin Arts Centre directly.
