Environmental (In)Justice Documentary-Debate Series "Yintah", Wednesday 18 June, Carolus
Movie screening and dialogue in the company of one of the movie's directors
On June 18, as part of our Environmental (in)Justice documentary-debates series, we will be screening "Yintah"; a moving and action-packed portrayal of indigenous resistance to ongoing extractivism and colonialism. When multi-national corporations planned the expansion of multiple new gas pipelines through unceded indigenous territory in the North-East of what is known as British Columbia, Canada, this threatened the pristine nature and waterways used as traditional living and hunting grounds by the Wet'suwet'en first nation, in additional to their constitutional and universal human rights. The documentary films across years of struggle and on the literal and metaphorical front-lines of indigenous resistance to fossil fuel extraction. Read more about the movie on the official website here.
We will also be joined virtually by one of the directors of the film, Jennifer Wickham, to answer a live Q&A after the screening.
Share widely within your networks and to your students!
We hope to see you there!

How to get there ?
How to get to the Carolus? If you want to come on your own from University, walk along Heyendaalseweg to catch bus lines 6, 10, 15, 58, 300 or SB58 towards Nijmegen Centraal Station. From Nijmegen Centraal, exit the station and head south towards the main road (Stationsplein). From the station, take the Bloemerstraat until Plein 1944. The Cinema is between the Bloemerstraat and Plein 1944. It is hard to miss this building of 12 meters high and red letters on top.
We’ll leave around 5.15 from Elinor Ostrom Gebauw. Drop us an email at rcsc@ru.nl if you want to take the bus with us, we’d love to travel together!
About the Bioscoop Carolus
The Bioscoop Carolus, build in 1954, is the oldest cinema of Nijmegen. Since its official closing in 2022, it has been squatted by Nijmeegs Jantien, a living project that arose from the housing/financial crises. Jantien organized for mutual aid & social projects for marginalized groups in Nijmegen.
