Imagine you’ve left the old story behind. You know, the one that takes for granted that Earth belongs to humans to exploit at will. You’ve started a hike into the unknown. There’s no map and for all you know you could be going in circles. But when you turn around and see the smog hanging over the world you left behind, you realise that even if you’re lost and without a map, you’re still on the right track.

Imprint (Avtryck)
Documentary, 75 minutes.
What can one person do about the climate crisis? What can a group of people do? What do we want to leave behind? In this film we visit 13 projects in 13 different places where committed groups work for a vibrant future. A personal and poetic depiction of what it means to be fully human in the age of the Anthropocene. A co-production between Campfire Stories and the Swedish Transition Network.
