Transition Towns Bournemouth presents Wild Coast Warriors on Tuesday, January 27.
The film is described as an “inspiring true story of the AmaMpondo people who took on Shell to protect South Africa’s Wild Coast”.
A spokesperson for the event said: “Wild Coast Warriors tells the powerful true story of the amaMpondo people of South Africa’s Wild Coast — and their extraordinary David vs Goliath legal battle against oil giant Shell.
“When Shell threatened to begin oil and gas exploration along this fragile coastline, the amaMpondo stood up to defend their ocean, culture, and ancestral ties to the sea.
“Through courageous resistance, deep spiritual connection to land and water, and a landmark court case, they successfully halted seismic blasting and secured ongoing protection for their coast.
“This inspiring documentary celebrates Indigenous leadership, community resilience, and the defence of marine life — including whale populations and the world-famous sardine run — against the devastating impacts of fossil fuel extraction.”
Patch is located on the first floor of Bobby’s in Bournemouth town centre, and the film will be shown from 7pm.
Tickets are priced £7.50 in advance and £9 on the door.
