The Cost of Growth challenges Europe’s growth story by exposing the extractive systems it relies on and the communities that pay the price. After the documentary we will open the discussion on what to do next.
About the film: The Cost of Growth connects local struggles against extractivism in Serbia, Italy and Sápmi with broader debates on justice and democracy. It shows how people across Europe are not only resisting false solutions but also building alternatives - from organizing grassroots to new forms of cooperation and solidarity.
