Gaia and Genesis - Are we stewards or slayers

A film by local filmaker Jo Jenkins. Entrance free but donations to the Climate Justice Fund.

While our ethical traditions know how to deal with homicide and even genocide these traditions collapse when confronted with ecocide and biocide, and, today we live in an ethically confusing and contradictory world, a world in which sentiment and brutality exist side by side. At the same time as modern thinkers seek to extend the circle of moral consideration to other animals, humanity inflicts more suffering on more creatures than at any time in history.

How we have reached this nadir is just one theme explored in Gaia & Genesis a film that takes us back to the beginning and investigates how both religion and science have carelessly misinterpreted an ancient injunction to have dominion over creation as a licence to dominate at any cost.
