Nowadays we live in a fast-paced world. Unfortunately, the environment is deeply affected by the changes. As human beings, it is our responsibility to take care of the surrounding world, including and especially nature. ‘’Rebels of Ecological Cause’’ was filmed in Reunion and it seeks to show us that a green and sustainable future is possible only if we understand the necessity of it and we are working together. Julie Cochard is an eco-activist, President of the association ‘’Volunteers of Reunion’’. She and some of the volunteers stand in front of the camera in order to introduce us to the pollution problems the Island is currently having. But there is always hope when we are all united in defending a good cause, isn’t there?
Elijah Alvares is a young politically engaged individual who strives to create a more inclusive world through campaigns against discrimination. ‘’A small step towards big change’’ is a film that shows another great initiative - in 2021, Elijah started a campaign for the creation of gender-neutral toilets within the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, which was deeply linked with the well-being of the students as the percentage of depression, loneliness and anxiety was researched to be much higher amongst people from the rainbow community, compared to heterosexual people. Elijah operates under the motto ‘You can’t live under the illusion that we aren’t all deeply connected’ and wants to continue working on projects that promote social inclusion, tolerance and empathy.
