  • NOW Ecosystem 412 Chaussée de Bruxelles Wavre, Région Wallonne, 1300 Belgium (map)

Screening (in FR) of the documentary "The Green Lie" by Werner Boote and Kathrin Hartmann, followed by a debate on "green" communication.

Synopsis: Today, industrialists invest a lot of time and money in "greening" their image: electric cars, organic palm oil, fair trade products... everything is done to make us feel less guilty and explain that we could save the world by consuming these products. But what if, instead of saving the world, these responsible purchases only made the multinationals richer?Werner Boote and Kathrin Hartmann traveled the world to reveal the other side of the coin. A committed investigation into the growing phenomenon of greenwashing, which is in reality a global lie, organized to maintain industry's profits. A documentary that challenges consumers about their power as citizens.
